A St. Bernard had a close call Sunday morning after falling off the ice into Osoyoos Lake, nearly being swept underwater by strong winds and currents.
The dog, named Juno, was seen by neighbours struggling to keep its head above the water. One of the neighbours proceeded to head out onto the ice with an extension cord tied around his waist for safety, with the other end tied to a post on another neighbour’s dock.
The rescuer crawled out onto the ice and was able to grab Juno’s paws and pull him out of the water to safety.
According to a witness on the scene, Juno was so cold and exhausted he was unable to walk. The dog is now resting at home.
