Good Humans Save A Labrador Who Fell Through A Frozen River

Hardy the labrador had a lucky escape on December 13 when he was rescued from a freezing river by the RSPCA and Northumberland Fire and Rescue Services. After getting trapped for an hour in the frozen River Wansbeck at Black Close Bank in Ashington, Northumberland, the dog was pulled from the water by RSPCA Inspector Jaqui Miller.

Helmet cam footage shows Miller working her way across the icy river, using a pick to get to Hardy who was clinging to the edge of the ice with his paws. Miller said they were very worried about Hardy because he head been stuck in the water for so long.
