This happened on the River Ribble in Lancashire, England. A Labrador and his owner were walking along the shore when the dog strayed on to thin ice close to the center of the river and fell into the water. Witnesses of this drama shouted to the Labrador’s owner not to go after her pet, but she did what she did. Laying on her front, she was crawling out on the ice trying to get closer to the dog when the ice broke under her weight. Now the woman had to fight for her life in the icy water. Luckily, her partner rushed up and rescued her with the help of the dog lead. And what happened to the Labrador? Go inside this post to find out.

Tip: the red boat has nothing to do with it.
