Woman, dog get stranded in canoe on pond

[Ban Hammer 14,286]

UTICA, Ohio - An Ohio University student thought she had a plan for rescuing her dog from an icy pond but then got the two of them stranded in a canoe.

Katie Kiracofe, 21, and her dog, Dudley, had to wait almost an hour for emergency crews to come to their aid Thursday near her family's home in central Ohio's Licking County.

Dudley had run out on the mostly frozen pond and had fallen into the water at a spot where there was no ice.

So, Kiracofe crawled across the ice pulling a canoe. She put it into the water, pulled the dog on board, wrapped him in her jacket, and then sat in the cold, wondering what to do.

Using a rope, her parents were able to get a coat to her but weren't able to pull the canoe in. That's when they called for help.

I like when the reporter says "that's when they called for help" in one sentence, because they can't contain their contempt for the people. Have to agree.. you waited HOW LONG to call for help?
