A Butler County Sheriff’s deputy, trained with Emergency Response Services, rescued a puppy last week from a frozen pond in Liberty Twp., according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputy Evan Depew was on routine patrol in Liberty Twp. when the incident occurred. He used a throw bag to lasso the dog, a German shepherd, and pulled him to safety, according to Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
