Woman, Dog Rescued from Icy Southwestern Ill. Pond
WATERLOO, Ill. (AP) -- A neighbor who heard a faint call for help on an icy southwestern Illinois pond is being credited with saving the life of a woman who fell into the icy water.

Stephen Lenhardt heard Molly Grady's pleas for help as she clung to the ice she had broken through with her small dog Sunday afternoon in Waterloo's Konarcik Park pond, about 30 feet from shore.

Lenhardt quickly called emergency responders, and firefighters managed to rescue the woman and dog.

Grady was treated at a St. Louis-area hospital.
