Duck-chasing dog saved from water by firefighters
Breeze, a seven-year-old springer spaniel, was unable to climb out of the water near Tesson Mill in St Peter, Jersey, on Wednesday.
Using a ladder and floatation equipment, a firefighter rescued Breeze after his owner called the emergency services.
A Jersey Fire Service spokesperson said: "Crews promptly arrived on scene and were met by Breeze's understandably worried owner, along with a few kind-hearted members of the public who had stopped to offer help."
They added that Breeze was back on dry land "after one final lap following the ducks around the water's edge" and was "unharmed and still very much full of energy".
"We'd like to remind everyone, if your pet finds themselves in difficulty, please don't put yourself in danger trying to rescue them - call the emergency services," they said.
