Woman and Dog Rescued from Frozen Pond

A dramatic rescue unfolded over the weekend when a mother fell into a frozen pond in Aurora, Illinois, while she was desperately trying to save the family dog. The woman jumped into a canoe to try to save her dog, Bailey, and matters quickly turned serious when she found herself waist deep in painfully freezing water. Fortunately, her 8-year-old son saw his mother struggling for help and called 911. The boy yelled out instructions from the 911 dispatcher as his mother and Bailey tried to come ashore. Eventually the police came and rescued her from the water, and then pulled Bailey safely to shore.
