Children risked their lives to help a dog trapped in an icy lake just days after four boys died in the Solihull frozen lake tragedy.
Firefighters issued a stark warning after the children were spotted walking on the ice at Hemlington Lake in Middlesbrough on Thursday.
A dog had fallen through the ice and firefighters confirmed the animal has now sadly passed away, but issued a stern warning to children and all members of the public to never walk on or enter icy water, reports Teesside Live.
