Reply to comment by needanacc0unt in Owner takes polar plunge to save dog after he falls through icy pond in Anne Arundel Co. by Sariel007

Assuming they make it in time...if it's looking dire I'm diving in...I know it's the wrong call, but fuck it.

I know they have 120 seconds max to go from bells to truck rolling, but average less than that. Plus a few minutes travel time. So from making the call to professionals arriving on scene (that are trained in ice rescue and can do it safely) in about 5 minutes.

I’d take the sure bet over the uncertainty of me being able to climb back onto the ice should I fall in.

On the other hand, you could just control your leashed dog and not put yourself in such a situation.
