A warning has been issued to pet owners after a dog fell through an ice-covered Kilmarnock pond
The pooch plunged into the icy waters of the Kay Park pond yesterday morning and apparently 'struggled' for a few minutes before its owner dived in to rescue the animal.
"On realising this, the owner walked across the ice and had to go into the water himself to lift the dog to safety. A happy ending this time, but it could have gone terribly wrong. Jonathan Honeyman, said: “We don’t want your winter walk to end in tragedy so please avoid going near frozen water when you are out with loved ones and pets.
“If anyone does get into difficulty on the ice, do not attempt to rescue them. Dial 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service then wait for help to arrive.”
