Odessa, Texas: At the moment, Texas is battling frigid cold temperatures. This is the first time in 30 years that the state is witnessing a bitterly cold winter.
Amidst the freezing surroundings, a heroic story has come to the fore. A firefighter from the Texan town of Odessa who was Rescue Battalion Chief Larry Norrid rescued a helpless dog who was stuck in a frozen pond.
Named Suitey, the canine had escaped from her owner and later found herself in a frozen pond, only for her to get stuck there and not being able to come out. The local police got the call about the situation, but they did not have the adequate equipment to pull off an ice-water rescue operation as the area was knee-deep in six-inches snow.
