BREAKING: Police save woman and her dog from lake at nature reserve near Rotherham after her pet fell through the ice chasing a swan
“After speaking to the woman, officers understood how the dog was being walked off its lead when it started to chase after a swan, and as the swan flew off, it broke the ice and the dog followed it into the lake.”
Inspector Lee Carlson said: “We share a multitude of advice as the cold weather approaches, but it’s important that people don’t think ‘that won’t happen to me’.“With the increase in freezing conditions even your routine that you have done every day may need to change, and that may be something as simple as walking your dog on the lead, not off.
“This incident is a reminder of how easy it can be to get into difficulty and distress in open water. Please be wary of the dangers, be vigilant and stay safe.”PC Walker was able to dry off, change his clothes at a local police station and continue his shift. He said: “This incident had a good outcome, everyone was safe, albeit some soggy footwear. However it could have been very different as we have seen from the absolutely devastating tragedy in Solihull this week.“Please know where your children are playing, their usual safe places may not be safe now winter has arrived, and be aware on your regular, local walks with your dogs - as the seasons change, so do the risks.
There was also a fire service call-out to children playing on a frozen pond in Arksey, near Doncaster, on Monday and four boys seen smashing ice in Rowntree Park in York were spoken to by police.
