Men Rescue Dog Frozen to Railroad Tracks

The dog sure is lucky to have those guys who came in and saved his life just in time!!

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. - He's missing a lot of hair, but a Siberian husky has a new name and a new life, thanks to a construction worker and police officer who rescued him from a railroad track minutes before a train arrived.

Jeremy Majorowicz thought it was a little strange that the dog had been sitting on the track for an hour-and-a-half in the cold, and stranger still that he wouldn't accept a bite of muffin.

"I have two dogs myself, so I didn't want to leave the dog if there was something wrong," Majorowicz said, so he called police.

Officer Tim Strand said the dog was "shivering unmercifully" when he arrived Monday and would not come to him, so he called animal control officer Al Heyde, who also couldn't get the dog to budge.

"I lifted his tail and hind quarters, and saw he was literally frozen to the tracks," Strand said.

Strand pulled hard on the dog's tail and was able to release him, but the dog lost a lot of hair. "He gave a heck of a whelp," he said.

Just 10 minutes later, a train came down the track.

"If the dog would have seen that train I'm afraid it would have been the end of the pupster," Strand said.

The dog was taken to the Chippewa County Humane Association, where workers named him "Ice Train."

Heard that the owners came forward and haven't decided if they want the dog back, as they got him a few short months ago as a gift.

Well, anyone who knows anything about a dog knows that they are not to be walked off leash when they're new and setting boundaries.

I don't walk Snickers off leash and only let her off leash in areas that I know are safe and free of Skunks (the little animals with a stripe on their back...Snickers doesn't want you to know she had a brush with one in August). As I see it, the family shouldn't get the dog back because they didn't come forward right away and, families and friends like that, who needs enemies?? They don't deserve a fine dog like Ice Train! No smiley face for them, either.

Poor Ice Train.

God bless the new family for Ice Train!
