As some noted, the firefighters “scooted” to the rescue.
The brave men & women with @TulsaFire deserve some kudos today.
They scooted out this morning onto a frozen pond in east #Tulsa to pull a stranded dog to safety.

The video was a heartwarming reminder that there is still some good in humanity.
We need to see things like this to keep our hope in humanity alive.

Some joked that the dog was quite nonchalant while greeting her saviors.
