A man rescued from frozen Michigan lake

25-01-2024 07:00

In the United States, a 65-year-old man falls through ice on Arbutus Lake.

A state police officer Kammeron Bennetts is nearby. He uses the man’s dog, Ruby, to rescue him. Bennetts is wearing a camera. He throws a rescue disc. It does not work. He asks the man to send Ruby to him. Bennetts attaches the disc to Ruby’s collar. Then, he pulls the man to safety.

The man must go to the hospital. He is okay now. The police call Ruby a good girl. This shows how quick thinking and teamwork help save a life in a difficult situation.

Difficult words: rescue (to bring someone to safety), attach (to join to something else), collar (a band around the neck of an animal).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What role did the police officer use the man's dog for in order to rescue him from falling through ice on Arbutus Lake?
