Must see TV: A man and his dog. Along with sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and a news crew. Colorado ice rescue turns ugly.
More fire and EMS news from STATter911.com, including another must see video.
Warning! Warning! Warning! This video from Colorado has plenty to offend for those who are bothered by an F-bomb, or two, or twenty. That said, it is well worth watching.
Here is the description that goes with it. It comes from KKCO-TV in Grand Junction and reporter Aaron Luna:
After ignoring Mesa County Sheriffs Officers, a man tries to run into a freezing lake to save his dog and tonight he is behind bars.
A frantic owner called 911 at 3:00p.m. Saturday saying his dog fell through the ice near the Rivers More..ide trail at 32 1/2 Road and D Roads.
When Clifton and the Mesa County Sheriff”s Office got there, they found the dog in the water, and its owners very upset.
As they waited for the Grand Junction Fire Department’s Water Rescue Team, the pet’s owner, 42-year-old Theodore Wilson, cussed at officials on scene for not trying to save his dog and then made a mad dash for the water in an attempt to do it himself.
The Sheriff’s Officers tackled him sending all of them into the icy water.
As the man was led away in cuffs rescue crews arrived on scene.
Moments later the dog was rescued but not before it bit its rescuer on the hand.
Wilson is facing charges of failure to obey a lawful order and obstruction of police and fire operations.
