A Portsmouth police officer waded into icy waters Tuesday morning to rescue a dog that had fallen into a pond at Montaup Country Club.

In a post on social media, the Portsmouth Police Department shared images of Lieutenant Khatu Khubchandani pulling the dog out of the pond. The dog was then reunited with her owner.

“Fortunately, this is just a wet uniform, a cold pond, and a happy dog back with her person,” the police department wrote. “Animal Control followed up on the incident and the dog is safe and warm.”

The Massachusetts Division of Wildlife said pets should always be leashed while walking near ice. If a pet falls into a frozen body of water, owners should not attempt to rescue them and instead call 911 for help.
