Mount Mourne, Mooresville Fire-Rescue units, Iredell County EMS and Mooresville Police were notified by an EMS unit already on the scene of a pickup truck on its roof in the retaining pond at Duke Health Lake Norman Hospital with a dog still inside about 11:51 a.m. Saturday.

The pick up truck plunged 20 feet into the pond after being parked in the parking lot of the hospital.

Four firefighters from Mount Mourne and Mooresville fire departments entered the water and used a Halligan to pry the door open and rescue the trapped dog.

The dog appeared to be unharmed by the experience.
