It seems as if this brutal winter gripping the eastern half of the country is leading to more dangerous dog rescues than we’ve seen in recent memory. This story from Revere, Massachusetts, features not only bravery from local firefighters, but it also drives home another important point: trying to rescue your own dogs in such a situation can actually make things worse. Al Sheridan got stuck and ended up briefly hospitalized. Luckily, thanks to the hard work of the firefighters, everyone ended up safe.
