Woman Nearly Died Trying to Save Her Dog

A woman fights for her life after plunging through the ice as she tries to rescue her dog from a freezing river.

Floundering and splashing, she struggles to stay afloat in the icy water.

She is finally rescued when her partner rushes up and uses the dog lead to haul her to safety.

Unwise: The woman lies on the ice as she tries to rescue the dog

Rescue: The man throws a dog's lead to the stricken woman and pulls her to safety

I made it! She finally reaches safety. And the dog? It strolls off

That was a bad idea: But at least she has escaped with her life. The dog, meanwhile appears to have found something else to interest him
