To the Editor:

My wife and I want to publically thank the Beach Haven Volunteer Fire Co. for saving the life of our dog, Buddy, on Jan. 11. Buddy is a rescue dog who adopted us 4½ years ago. He is about 14, almost blind and quite deaf.

He slipped and fell from our dock through ice on the bay near our boat slip. Unable to get to dry land because of the bulkheading, Buddy was trapped in the icy water.
