In the very early hours of the morning, a local resident alerted the authorities when he saw an animal walking across a frozen river.Sadly, as the dog reached the middle of the river, he fell through thin ice and was trapped in a hole, unable to make it back to shore. The dog would likely drown orfreeze to death if authorities did not reach him soon.Hampton firefighters rushed to the river immediately to try and rescue the freezing animal.Equipped with tools to handpick through the inch-thick ice, they managed to rescue the pet who was thirty feet out into the river.
