PHOTO: A black Labrador dog was rescued Thursday morning from Lake Elmo by the Billings Fire Department after the animal was found partially submerged in ice about 30 feet from shore.
The dog and another dog had apparently separated from their owner. Firefighters found the first dog in the water. The second dog, a yellow Labrador, remained unaccounted for as of 5 p.m., Battalion Chief Alan Lohof said.
"The original caller to the 911 center only saw one dog. And our ice rescue guys after they got the first dog out, they did a grid search of that hole, that area there. They did not find any indication of a second dog," Lohof said. "We don't have any evidence the second dog is out there and we didn't find him."
