While performing ice breaking duties near Detroit, Mich., crew of the Coast Cutter BRISTOL BAY spotted an injured and apparently abandoned dog on an ice flow. Two crew members were dispatched to rescue the distressed dog. The canine was taken aboard where crew cared for him and his numerous injuries. He was aptly named “Lucky” by crew members and later transferred to local authorities when the cutter returned to port.
