Dog saved from frozen lake after getting legs and tail stuck

A marooned dog's life was saved after it was spotted on a frozen lake and rescued.



The tragic pooch had managed to get its tail and hind legs trapped in the ice and was unable to move and free itself.



Without help the Moscow Watchdog, a cross between the St Bernard and the Caucasian Shepherd, would have almost certainly died.



A rescue patrol reached the pet with a hovercraft and gently worked to free the animal from its freezing tomb.
