N.D. (AP) – Two brothers suffered hypothermia but survived following an attempt to rescue a dog from a lake in Richland County.

Sheriff Larry Leshovsky says a dog belonging to one of the brothers broke through the thin ice on Grass Lake Sunday. One man attempted to rescue the dog and broke through the ice. KFGO reports the second man tried to rescue his brother and also went through the ice. 

Leshovsky says that by chance the brothers’ shouts for help could be heard some distance away because there was little wind. Lidgerwood firefighters responded to a 911 call and pulled the men, Jeff and Jesse Lyons, from the water. They were taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Breckenridge. The dog did not survive.
