The dramatic rescue was caught on video after a family spotted the dog in a icy Vermont River as they were going through the drive-thru of a Dunkin’ Donuts.
He jumped into the frigid waters and waded over to the dog, gently pulling it ashore where his wife, Erica, draped it with a sweatshirt. The dramatic rescue of the dog Friday afternoon in Berlin, Vermont, was caught on video by his son and has been shared widely on social media.
In the video, Chris MacRitchie can be seen sliding into the frozen water, swimming out, scooping up the dog and bringing her back to shore.
Dunkin’ dropped the “Donuts” from its brand name years ago. Now — at least in Nebraska, New Mexico and a few other states — it doesn’t have doughnuts on the shelves either.
