A golden retriever named Cinnamon wandered onto a frozen pond in Golden, Colorado and quickly became submerged.  Thankfully, a sheriff’s deputy was around to see what had happened, and jumped into the water and saved her life.

Deputy Billy Brooks saw the dog struggling to stay afloat in the icy pond.  He grabbed a rescue rope and had a passerby hold the other end.  He secured the rope around himself and broke his way through the ice.  Cinnamon was already under the water.

Brooks got himself to the spot where he had last seen Cinnamon, and found himself chest deep in the frigid water.  He held onto a large chunk of ice, and reached around under the water to find her.
