The dramatic rescue on Jan. 10 in Berlin was caught on video by the man’s son and was shared widely on social media

This video provided by Chris MacRitchie shows Chris MacRitchie rescuing a dog from the Winooski River as he is recorded by his son Ace MacRitchie on Jan. 10 in Berlin, Vt.He jumped into the frigid waters and waded over to the dog, gently pulling it ashore, where his wife draped it with a sweatshirt. The dramatic rescue on Jan. 10 in Berlin was caught on video by his son and was shared widely on social media.

“It was like one of those moments everyone probably has in their life like you’re going to make a decision,” MacRitchie said. “I felt I was obligated to at least try to fetch this dog out of the river, as I have two dogs myself, and I would hope someone would do that for them if they were in that spot.”

MacRitchie gingerly steps through the ice and into the river, audibly gasping as he wades toward the dog, which was on the other side of the frozen tributary. MacRitchie lifts the dog out of the water and onto the icy embankment. He carries it over to his wife. “I started crying, and I told him, ’Oh, my God, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. Let me pull a U-turn and I’m coming right back,'” she said as she sat beside Arizona during an interview. She said the dog has mostly recovered.
