Members of the Missoula Fire Department rescued a dog caught in the frigid waters of the Clark Fork River. A post on their Facebook page said that Missoula Firefighter Malcom Edwards and his entire crew at Station 2 responded to a call for help Wednesday evening after a Newfoundland found itself in the icy waters during a walk with its family. The family also posted a message on social media, saying that "Leonard" decided to go swimming while out on a walk. It went on to say that the dog couldn't get out of the river, because of the ice shelf. A bystander called 911 and the "amazing Missoula Fire Department rescued our Leonard."
