People jumped into icy water to save their dogs.

This past week in Bedworth, the water at Sidings Pool was completely frozen over. It was a beautiful sight, but unfortunately, it also caused some trouble for a few individuals. Two people found themselves in a dangerous situation while trying to save their beloved dogs from a frozen pond in Warwickshire.

What started as a simple dog walk quickly turned into a chaotic rescue mission on Saturday. The man and woman had ventured onto the icy surface of Sidings Pool in an attempt to retrieve their pets. However, things took a turn for the worse when they both fell through the ice and became stranded. They were stuck there for a nerve-wracking 20 minutes, trying to stay afloat in the freezing water.

Thankfully, there were bystanders in the area who witnessed the incident and immediately called for help. Emergency services arrived on the scene, including police, firefighters, and ambulance workers. Using life buoys, life rings, and throw lines, they were able to successfully pull the two individuals out of the icy water. However, due to their prolonged exposure to the freezing temperatures, they had to be treated for hypothermia and taken to the hospital.

Fortunately, their furry companions fared much better. Despite their unexpected dip in the icy pond, the dogs were apparently unharmed and kept warm at the scene. This incident has prompted the Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service to issue a stern warning to all pet owners. They remind everyone to keep their pets off icy surfaces, and to always walk them on a leash. If a pet does get into trouble in the water, it's crucial to avoid entering the water oneself and instead, call for emergency assistance by dialing 999.

The safety of both pets and their owners should always be the top priority, and attempting to rescue them on your own can have tragic consequences. As a community, it's vital for all of us to exercise caution during cold weather conditions and prioritize safety for ourselves and our pets. Let's all work together to prevent any similar incidents from happening in the future.
