A New York State Trooper fell through the ice Saturday afternoon when he was trying to rescue a dog from a partially frozen pond.  Troopers received a report that a dog had fallen though the ice behind JFK High School in Somers, and that the dog's owner was possibly trying to rescue the animal. 

Trooper Christopher Spallone, a 10-year veteran of the force, arrived and saw the dog in distress due to the frigid water temperature.  He walked onto the ice and successfully rescued the yellow lab named Shelby. 

As Trooper Spallone was returning to shore though, the ice fractured and he fell in. 

A Somers Police Officer and fireman helped Spallone from the water.  The Trooper was treated and released from Northern Westchester Hospital.  The officer was exposed to the cold water and was treated at the scene. 

The dog is expected to make a full recovery.
