This is the heartwarming moment firefighters rescued a dog trapped in an icy pond in Utah.
On Sunday afternoon, the pup named Bob couldn't get out of the frigid water after a “polar plunge” into Steed Pond in Clearfield, about 30 miles from Salt Lake City.
When the rescue crew arrived, one of the firefighters, Logan Hadley, donned a dry suit and was attached to a rope holder while the rest of the crew pulled him and the dog out.
As the firefighter approached the water, the frightened dog swam towards him, just before scurrying out of the water and running towards his owners.
“Please watch your pets and children as ice conditions are still not as safe as we would like,” the North Davis Fire District said in a Facebook post.

The video begins with Hadley, wearing a bright yellow suit, black ski mask and black boots, beginning to crawl in the snow next to a silver ladder.
As he crawls to the pond to rescue Bob, a bright red strap and silver rope are attached to him.
The firefighter then turns around as a member of “B” shift tells him, “As you approach, start feet first.”
As he continues to crawl toward the trapped puppy, Bob begins barking and growling as his owners try to calm him down.
The dog's owner says, “It's okay, buddy, he'll save you!”
Hadley continues to crawl toward the large pond, which is surrounded by snow and a solid layer of ice.
Bob continues to hold on to the edge of the ice as the firefighter approaches and begins to position his body so that he can dive into the cold water.
'His name is Bob. “Bob, be good,” says his owner.
The firefighter then crouches down in the pond as a chunk of ice breaks off and she slowly approaches the pet.
The firefighter can be seen moments before he lowered himself into the freezing water while the dog clung to the side of the ice wall
Bob the dog tried to bite Hadley when he was rescued, but both were eventually released safely
While trying to get his bearings, Bob quickly lets go of the ice wall and paddles over to Hadley.
When the firefighter tries to hug the dog, Bob panics and tries to bite him.
Meanwhile, Hadley doesn't let go, holding the frightened dog's face and pulling the rest of his body up.
A crew member says, “Start pulling!”
Within seconds, the firefighter and the dog are pulled out of the water as the dog runs to his owners and shakes the ice and snow off his body.
The gunfighter is then pulled back on the cable car as he glides across the snow on his stomach.
“Firefighter Hadley did a fantastic job helping Bob today.” “The rest of the 'B' shift, who can't be seen on camera, are on the bank making sure Hadley and Bob are safe,” the wrote Fire department in the Facebook post.

“Logan is a unique guy, he is selfless, he is determined, he learns quickly and then he teaches that knowledge to new firefighters to help them develop as well,” the post said.
Pet owners are advised to keep their dogs away from or near frozen bodies of water during the winter.
According to PETA, dogs should “always” be on a secure leash or harness when walking and should never be allowed to run loose near open water.
