Sure looks like a husky. Methinks maybe Huskies need iron clad recall our leash anywhere near ice covered water!

Yup looks like a husky. Squirt likes playing on ice but i dont worry when its a foot thick

I agree it looks like a Husky ... but @amymeme, "iron clad recall", shoot, most of the time I'd settle for any recall!

Hypothermia ... I think it stands a better chance that the EMS is gonna suffer from that than the dog. Even given that the dog is soaked, it's still got a lot of fur that the human doesn't.

Poor pupper. It looks like a mix?

Reminds me of when I had a tub filled with water during the ice storm incase the utilities went out. I guess Tulok decided to jump in and didn't realize the water was COLD. He jumped out onto a small lip on the other side of the tub that's up against the wall.

I heard him crying and thought he trapped himself in the closet again. But he was sitting hunched on that lip of the tub because he didn't want to go back into the water. I had to 'rescue' him.

I have pics of squirt in the water while the river is half frozen. The water here is really cold all year and 15 degrees is perfect swimming weather (according to squirt). I dont think squirt gets cold ever. I do keep her on a lead because she has fallen through the ice and i can pull her back in that way. In our area the fire department is used to winter ice animal rescues but usually its an elk or a deer or a cow, not alot of dog rescues. They do rescue alot of dogs from abandoned mine shafts.

Looks like a Pomsky to me, my 2 haven’t really seen iced lakes but in the winter they will go in the trout stream not really deep enough to call it a lake
