After visiting Hardy’s owner later that day, Miller said: “He had a small cut on his paw and was pretty cold but apart from this, he was absolutely fine.”

The RSPCA advises owners to keep dogs away from frozen ponds, lakes or rivers and to call the emergency services instead of attempting to rescue the animals themselves.
