A blind dog was rescued by fisherman at Balbriggan Harbour in Dublin after being dumped in the freezing water.
The frightened animal was near to death when he was found but still swimming and fighting for his life. Now named Ash, the year old Malinois is in the care of a dog sanctuary.
Workers at the sanctuary have been left totally shocked by his treatment, near death experience and miracle rescue. Eileen Treacy from Star Rescue told DogsLive : "We thought we'd heard it all but the story of Ash is incredible, remarkable and worthy of being shared because he is the dog who wouldn't give up. Investigations point to him being dumped in the freezing waters of the harbour, another unwanted soul.
