A puppy died and a Boulder man required treatment for hypothermia after the dog fell through the ice at the Boulder Reservoir Saturday afternoon.

Boulder police Sgt. Dave Seper said the man had given the puppy as a Christmas gift to his 16-year-old daughter. The pair were walking the puppy at the reservoir when it ran out on the ice and fell through.

The man went in after the dog, but wasn't able to rescue it, Seper said. The man was able to get out of the water on his own, but he was transported to Boulder Community Hospital for treatment for hypothermia.

The dive team was activated but was not able to find the puppy, Seper said.

Search parties all weekend long
Looking for my peace of mind
All we found was a little white dog

Ecotourists at the Dog Track
Those new biodegradable spike inserts keep those hounds moving
and with a lot less paw damage too.
