Man risks life to save dog on icy river

Stripped down to his underwear in the bitter cold, this man risks his life trying to rescue his dog from a frozen river.

Moments later, as he inched along the ice on his hands and knees, he fell into
the water – yet fortunately, both dog and owner clambered out unscathed
and continued their walk.

Paul Wenborne, who took the photograph while walking his own dog by the
River Stour in Essex yesterday, described the unidentified man's
behaviour as a 'foolish act of bravery'.




Mr Wenborne, 52, of Rayleigh, Essex,
added: 'I was with two friends and we couldn't believe what we were seeing.

He stripped down to his pants and started crawling across the ice.'

But Essex fire service condemned the man's rescue attempt as 'extremely dangerous'.

Assistant divisional officer Stuart
McMillan said: 'Even though this ice appears to be strong it can be eggshell thin,
and anyone who falls through into the water below could
get trapped under the ice and would only be able to survive for minutes
in the freezing water.
