Woman rescues her dog from freezing lake after it broke through the ice while chasing a bird

A brave young woman risks her life to save her dog from an ice-cold lake.

Witnesses said the animal had been chasing a bird on the semi-frozen boating pond when it fell in and struggled to get back to shore.

The dog’s owner then grabbed a life ring and plunged in to rescue her pet through chunks of ice in Alexandra Palace, North London.

An onlooker said: “I was at the café getting a herbal tea when I heard this massive commotion.

“I went out and saw there was a dog in the middle of the lake through the ice.



“People said the dog had chased a bird onto the ice and fallen through.

“I saw a girl at the side take off a green jacket and her shoes and she jumped in.

“She had to smash through the ice and the dog was about ten metres away she had to smash through to get to it. After managing to direct the pooch to the side of the lake, a passerby picked it up and helped it out.

Kind hearted cafe owners gave the drenched woman some dry clothes after her adventure and she was driven away from the park.
