His owners immediately called 911 and firefighters soon came to Zeus' rescue.

The dog was clearly shaken from his fall and can be heard whimpering in the cell phone footage of the rescue.

"Ok, he's growling at me," the fireman said before braving the freezing cold to save Zeus' life. Although Zeus was scared, his owners reassured him that everything would be ok. And they were right! The firefighter was able to push Zeus out of the pond and get him to safety.
