Sad.
Interesting to see if a lawsuit doesn’t come out of this. Who owns the lake?
If it’s the town, then a simple rope with a ring would have been a great forethought. Or and after thought?
In the USAF survival school, we were taught, along with a lot of other stuff, not to go on ice with “ice picks”. (Wood dowels with nails protruding.) We had them on the hood draw strings as an inspection item for winter field exercises. Funny the stuff you remember forty years later.
Tonight I’ll remember her in my prayers for her and the family. Valiently trying to save her dog.
