>> sims tries to help by breaking the ice with his boots. >> she's not a young dog, and her back legs were, i think, probably a little bit weak. when she stepped out on to the ground and she was standing on her own and looking around and wagging her tail, then, you know, i knew she was -- she was going to be all right. >> it was a good feeling for everybody that we got her. because we knew she didn't have much time left. she was out there a long time. >> how chloe ended up in the middle of the lake will probably remain a mystery. jacoby's just relieved the dog got her attention. >> i knew if i hadn't been out there, i don't know if anybody else would have heard her or even realized that she was out there. >> since her brush with death, chloe's been enjoying some extra affection. >> my wife says she knows, but, yeah, we're still close. i say i give her an extra hug.
