Growing up in Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we used to have dog patrols when it got real cold. People would go around kicking dogs loose from fore hydrants.

I haven’t had any problems for several years but I keep a hole open in the ice on the lake just in case. Big enough for a 5 gallon bucket for toilet flushing.
