HEBRON — A man looking for his dog became trapped in a marsh after falling through thin ice on Saturday afternoon.
The Hebron resident was walking in an area off Paris Road, according to authorities, when he ventured into a marshy section on his property that was frozen over, said Paris Fire Department Deputy Chief Brad Frost.
The dog, a St. Bernard, was eventually reunited with its owner, but not before the man fell through the ice into the muddy water, where he became trapped almost a half-mile from his home.
Hebron Fire Department responded and both Paris and Norway fire departments provided mutual aid. The man was transported to Stephens Memorial Hospital and treated for hypothermia.
