A Michigan mom of three drowned in a freezing pond while trying to save her dog after the animal fell through the ice, police said.

Tracy Cashman, 38, disappeared Saturday night after taking her goldendoodle, Lola, out for a walk in the town of Wyoming about 8:30 p.m. The soaking wet dog returned to the family’s home a short time later — but Cashman was nowhere to be found, ABC 13 reported.

Emergency workers found the missing woman’s body in a pond at Battjes Park early Sunday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Cashman’s mom, Rhonda Moore, said her daughter’s brave attempt came as no surprise.

“Whether it was her dog, someone else’s dog, a child, she would just do it. It would be instinct,” Moore told WTOC.

“It was a quick trip. She had a light jacket [and] didn’t take her phone. She must have let the dog off her leash, and the dog ran out in the back pond on the ice,” Moore added.

Moore said Cashman wouldn’t go out on the ice normally, but that she would have done anything to save Lola.

“You step off, and it just drops. She probably didn’t even think about it. If that dog was struggling, she was going to save her dog,” Moore said.

Cashman was an employee of Godfrey-Lee public schools. The school released a statement Sunday to mourn Cashman’s passing and said the school would close early on Monday to honor her memory.

An autopsy was scheduled for Monday morning to confirm Cashman’s cause of death.
