A pet owner and nearby residents rescued a golden retriever trapped in a frozen lake in northern China.

Video filmed in the city of Shenyang in Liaoning Province on April 2 shows a golden retriever trapped in a frozen lake and a resident moving forward on planks to try to approach the dog.

Since the surface of the frozen lake was too thin, the resident could not get close to the dog.

In another clip, the dog’s owner broke the ice to approach his pet in an inflatable boat.

After he grabbed his dog, a resident on the shore pulled the boat back.

The dog was rescued successfully and it was not injured.

According to reports, the golden retriever accidentally fell into the frozen lake as the ice surface suddenly broke when it was chasing a puppy on it.

4月2日，辽宁沈阳辉山风景区内。一只金毛犬在追一只小狗玩耍时，冰面突然破裂塌陷，金毛犬落水。一位热心市民试着垫上木板，逐渐靠近狗狗营救，结果因为冰面太薄。无法靠近，营救失败。营救同时，狗主人想法找来橡皮艇，在对面破冰出展开营救，划到狗狗身后，把趴在冰面上的狗抱住，被市民一同拉上岸来。目击者表示，水有两米深左右，最终狗安然无恙。（视频由辽宁台提供）
