Struggling dog rescued from Massachusetts lake
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Authorities in Massachusetts used a drone and a pair of borrowed boats to rescue a dog who chased some geese out into a lake and became stranded.
The Wellesley Police Department said officers responded alongside the Wellesley Fire Department after a dog was reported stranded in a local lake.
"The dog had gotten away from the owner to chase geese and began to struggle while swimming," police said in a video posted to social media. The owner went into the water but had to return due to the cold temperature and distance from shore.
Police used a drone to track the canine's movements and the dog was rescued with the use of two Wellesley College boats.
The dog and its owner were uninjured.
