Puppy rescued from frozen lake after falling in chasing a duck

A puppy was dramatically rescued from a frozen lake after falling in the water while chasing a duck.

The dog got stuck in the ice after slipping into the water in Victoria Park, Hackney, east London, at around 11.30am yesterday (SUN).

Its owner was forced to dive into the icy water and smash through ice with his fists to save the stranded puppy.

The helpless canine could be heard yelping for help as it battled to keep its head above the sub-zero water.
