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.
