A SIX-MONTH-OLD puppy had to be rescue from freezing water in a Nelson park this morning.
The spaniel was being taken for a walk in Marsden Park at around 11am when it jumped into a frozen duck pond and fell below the ice.
Gary Ibbitson, watch manager at Nelson Fire Station, said: “We used water rescue equipment to break through the ice and carry the dog to safety.”
