Duluth Dog Rescue
"Well we were taking a little walk down here with our dog and my son was holding onto her leash, and she saw a seagull and went a little crazy and leapt right off the pier," DeeDee Elleson of Duluth said.
That's when a walk for her 1-year-old dog named Ella quickly turned into a swim. The Lab-collie mix jumped over a concrete wall in Canal Park, right into the frigid waters of a ship way in Lake Superior. A frantic Elleson then went after her. She had her 9-year-old son call 911, while she crawled down a ladder towards the water.
"Probably not the best decision I've ever made by trying to help her out because if I would have slipped it would have been pretty bad," Elleson said.
Authorities were able to get Elleson and her dog up safely.

I'd have done the same thing. Good for her.
