LITTLE CHUTE - The dog rescued from the Fox River over the weekend is back home safe.

The Fox Valley Metro Police and Little Chute Fire departments responded to a call a little after 4 p.m. Saturday after a dog had fallen through ice on the river in Little Chute.

The dog, a border collie mix named Wes, was pulled from the icy water and brought to a nearby veterinary clinic. He was treated and released on Sunday and, according to a post on the Fox Valley Metro Police Department Facebook page, is expected to make a full recovery. He was "in high spirits" when he met with Fox Valley Metro officers. Wes' owner is a Little Chute resident.

Video recorded from an officer's body camera showing first responders at work was shared on Facebook by police.
