She leapt into action, climbing into a lifesaver before wading through the freezing water to rescue the canine.

"Some people take astonishing risks, especially pet owners whose dogs have gone onto the ice," stated Community Safety Group Manager Mark Hazelton.
"If your dog or any other animal ends up on the ice, stay put and call 999 so firefighters can rescue it, rather than taking risks yourself."
