They say they found the dog in the water, but it did not survive. Witnesses told firefighters the dog chased a goose out onto the ice and fell through.

As regularly suggested by firefighters, no one tried to save the dog on their own, but instead they called 911.

Details about whether the dog's owners were in the area were not released.
