On the night of March 19, the U.S. Coast Guard in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, received a call about a seemingly lost dog that was spotted on the ice near a Coast Guard boat.
The poor pup seemed scared and a little confused, and the Coast Guard along with the Army Corp of Engineers and the Michigan State Police sprung into action to get him off of the ice and back to safety.
It turns out this poor pup's name is Buddy and he was recently rescued. Unfortunately, he's so new to his new home that his family hasn't had a chance to get him microchipped, and he also hasn't had time to fully acclimate to his new home.

Authorities were able to successfully get Buddy off of the ice and say that he was a super sweet boy.
Once on scene, the dog readily accepted the help and cuddled right up to our ice rescue team member during the transit back to station. The good boy was safe and reunited with his family. - Cory Cichoracki, Operations Unit Controller at Sector Northern Great Lakes
Buddy's mom, Allie, commented on how he's doing currently, saying,
We all lucked out last night getting him back home safe. Buddy is just so traumatized from his past. Poor rescue baby. - Allie via Facebook
In another comment, she said that the family intends to have Buddy microchipped when they are able to get him into the vet next month.
