Dog rescued from Hudson River ice

Firefighters rescued a small dog Tuesday that had found itself on ice on the Hudson River, relatively close to shore, somewhere north of Nyack Beach.

Nyack Fire Chief Dana Mickle said firefighters received an afternoon report that a dog was stuck on ice.

The dog was maybe 5 to 10 feet from shore, according to Chris Ryan, Rockland Lake fire chief.

Some details were unclear, including the precise location of where it happened. Nyack and Piermont fire departments responded and Ryan said Rockland Lake assisted.

Mickle said the dog was a shih tzu, and that two firefighters went out and got the dog to safety. Ryan described the dog as a little poodle.

Mickle said the owner had been walking the dog in the area and the dog slipped in.

The dog was returned to its owner at the Rockland Lake Fire House.
