VIDEO: Firefighters with the Kilbourn Fire Department performed a nighttime rescue on the icy waters of the Wisconsin River, saving a dog named Milo. The black dog was spotted by people several miles upriver floating on a piece of ice. The dog floated down the river for two hours before firefighters were able to rescue it. “The dog had been out there for a couple of hours, and you don’t know if he’s already been in the water and back out. You knew he was cold,” firefighter Adam Hickey said. Firefighters and Wisconsin Dells police officers worked together to track the dog as it floated down the river on a piece of ice approximately 20 feet wide.
