(JamaicaPlainNews<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0A dog named Maggie needed to be rescued by a Boston Firefighter from Jamaica Pond after falling through the ice on Feb. 23rd.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is a video of the daring rescue by Boston Firefighter Mike Ronayne, which\u00a0shows how he crawled out on the ice while wearing a suit designed to combat frigid water temperatures. At one point the firefighter also fell through the ice. But without much delay he was able to rescue the dog, pulling it out from the water, and Maggie the dog happily walked away and joined her owner on land.<\/p>\n

Emily Andrea Robertson captured video of the rescue and shared it on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cI almost didn\u2019t walk the way I did on the pond but I\u2019m glad I did! I saw Maggie had broken through the ice and her owner,\u00a0William\u00a0was shouting for her. [I] ran over and took off my boots and prepared to go in if she went under (I know it\u2019s not too deep over there because I\u2019ve been wading there) but the ice broke pretty quickly underfoot so I decided to call 911. The fire department came out and bravely rescued her. Mad props to them. Maggie is such a sweetheart and I\u2019m so glad she\u2019s ok!\u201d wrote Robertson.<\/p>\n
