The London Fire Brigade warns dog owners to keep pets on leads near frozen water
London: The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is sounding the alarm about dogs getting stuck on frozen lakes. They’re urging pet owners to keep their dogs on a lead when near icy waters.
They’ve seen a rise in incidents where dogs have fallen through the ice, and they stress that you should never try to rescue your pet yourself. Instead, just call 999 and stay safe.
On social media, LFB shared, “We’ve responded to several calls today about dogs trapped on frozen ponds. Please keep your dogs on leads. If they get on the ice, don’t risk your safety to save them.”
With temperatures feeling like -3C this morning, it’s going to be a chilly weekend. Tomorrow morning, it might feel like -2C, so bundle up!
Remember, the ice can be deceptive. It might look solid, but it can be weak. So, keep your furry friends close when you’re out and about.
We might finally see some warmer weather by next Friday, but until then, it’s best to stay cautious.
