It was a ruff day for a little pup named Georgy who drifted offshore on Lake Hopatcong.

One person commented: "NJ State Troopers are the best of the best. So professional , kind and respectful. Much respect for their hard work."Betz ran to the pup's rescue, trying to get it to the shoreline.
Georgy struggled to make his way towards the trooper and fell through the ice. Struggling to stay afloat, the pup didn't stop swimming. He eventually made his way to a sheet of rock that was above the lake but was still far from dry land.Trooper Betz threw on his dry suit, grabbed a nearby paddleboard and hit the water. Betz scooped up the little pup and brought him safely back to shore. Little Georgy was later reunited with his owners, who confirmed his name.
