This little Chinese boy is really lucky!

It is a real miracle that this unlucky dog has survived. The poor thing was shot in the head and buried alive. A police officer who was walking nearby accidentally heard someone whining from underneath. He called the emergency services that sent the rescued dog to a veterinary clinic. The dog underwent a surgery. As for his owner, he’ll have to go through a trial. A person who did this is a jerk, but not human.

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.

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.
