An 8-year-old boy spent about half an hour in a frozen pond on Christmas Day, until a police officer rescued him.

The boy was playing with another child in New Harmony, Utah, when his dog ran away around 5 p.m. The boy chased after the dog and ran on a frozen pond. About 25 feet out on the pond, the ice gave way.
