JENISON, Mich. — A dog and a deer are both safe after both fell into icy water in Jenison, thanks to help from the Georgetown Township Fire Department and the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.
Sgt. Matt Wildfong says the call came in around 3 p.m. Friday at the Bend Area Open Space.
The owner was walking the dog when it and the deer both fell through thin ice, prompting the owner to dive in to save the dog.
The owner was unsuccessful, but was able to exit the water on their own.
The fire department dive team safely rescued both animals within an hour and a half of the call coming in.
During the effort, a deputy was bitten by a second dog that was not in the water, but no other injuries were reported.
