Firefighters raced to the rescue in Billerica after a dog fell through thin ice. 

Firefighters found the black dog halfway submerged in the water at Vietnam Veterans Park. 

Using special suits and a rope, they were able to reach the dog and pull it to safety. 

One of the firefighters took off his own coat to help warm up the dog.
