Bruce would not stop whining and scratching at the door Tuesday.
The urgency of the noises drew Abby Leathers over to let out her pit bull out the front door, which was strange, since he usually goes out back.
Bruce, who is named after Batman's alter ego, ran outside and directly to a pond where a half-naked woman was standing in the water trembling, confused and scared, Leathers said.
Police and paramedics responded. Her family had reported her missing and arrived shortly after as well.
"It was an eventful morning, and someone's mom and grandmother did not freeze or drown in a pond because of my wonderful pitty bull Bruce," Leathers said.
