A fisherman working in a North County Dublin harbour performed a rescue mission to save a blind dog who had been dumped in the freezing water.
The dog, who has since been named Ash, was close to death but was fighting for his life in the water when he was found.
The one-year-old Malinois was discovered by a fisherman in Balbriggan Harbour in North County Dublin on December 8 when air and sea temperatures had reached freezing levels.
