Fortunately, the victim wasn't alone. His dog, Ruby, was lying next to the hole where his owner was stuck.

Officer Bennetts' body camera footage shows him telling the man to call Ruby over, and the dog quickly came to him and joined the rescue effort.

The officer and dog's exceptional teamwork was captured in the footage, which saw them tying a rescue disc to the victim's dog, Ruby.

She then runs back across the thin ice to her trapped owner when he calls her.

Once the trapped man had the disc, the rest of the rescue was quick.
