An Iowa teen was ice fishing with his mother on East Okoboji Lake last Saturday, Feb. 4, when he witnessed a Jeep plunge perilously through the ice.

Alongside four other men, Joe Salmon, 17, an Okoboji High School senior, immediately rushed to help the driver of the Jeep, whose 6-year-old dog, Cooper, was also trapped inside.
