“Upon arrival, officers discovered that a brave Good Samaritan had taken a kayak onto the frozen lake in an attempt to save the dog,” the post said. “While the dog had been successfully rescued, the female in the kayak became stuck on the ice, unable to safely return to shore.”
The officers used a water rescue throw bag to reach the woman and tow her kayak back to shore.
“Thankfully, both the dog and the female were unharmed,” police wrote.
