A man who attempted to rescue a woman's dog before falling through the ice of the North Saskatchewan River is being remembered for his kindness and unique personality. Friends have identified the man as Rob White, 55. White was walking his dog near Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park on Tuesday before he attempted the rescue. He tied his dog up and went out and did it," said Chris Barrett, White's friend for nearly three decades. After falling through the ice White was carried down the river toward an ice shelf near Groat Bridge but emergency crews weren't able to retrieve him before losing sight of him.
