Hero firefighter rescues dog stranded on melting ice 

A dog stranded on thin melting ice in Massachusetts was taken to dry land thanks to a firefighter who came to her rescue.

Rosie was stuck sliding around on Harris pond Sunday afternoon in Blackstone before a team rushed to assist her.

The poor pup was seen on video wiggling on the melting ice in attempt not to fall through.

The firefighter scooped in to pick up Rosie before the rescue team helped them both out of the pond through a rope.
