Prince William County’s Fire and Rescue crews rescued a man and his dog on Friday after the pair slid down an ice-covered hill in Dumfries, Virginia, according to the county’s Department of Fire and Rescue.

The man had slid several hundred feet down a hill along Hudson River Court when he was trying to rescue his dog, Lyla, who slid down the hill just moments before he followed suit.

When they couldn’t get back up, Prince William County’s Fire and Rescue crews were called in.

The incident required specialty rope skills, according to a Saturday press release.

Crews used special equipment to successfully rescue the owner and Lyla, who were both uninjured.
