A firefighter carried a cold and scared dog from a New Jersey creek Sunday morning, returning the shivering pup to its owner.
The Good Will Fire Co. of Pemberton, New Jersey responded to the Rancocas Creek, part of the Delaware River, around 10 a.m. to find the canine stuck in the water.
The pet's "ruff" day began when it dashed away from its owner and ended up at the creek, where its leash got caught on a fallen tree, according to the Good Will Fire Co.'s Facebook page.
The firefighters teamed up with members of the Joint Base MDL Emergency Services to remove the dog, who was captured on cell phone video being carried out of the water.
The dog is expected to make a full recovery, although rescuers took the pet and its owner to Mount Laurel Animal Hospital for evaluation.
Let's hope the pup learns to stick by his owner after such a "pawful" day.
