Montgomery Township police officers rescued a dog Tuesday morning from a pond in the Cherry Valley Country Club after the dog escaped from a neighbor's backyard and fell into a frigid pond by the golf course.

Montgomery police Officer Salvatore Intili walked out onto the ice wearing a personal flotation device and retrieved the dog by grabbing its safety harness as Sgt. John Colucci held a safety rope, authorities said.
