An 11-month-old puppy had a “miraculous” escape after falling 40ft off a bridge into a frozen river. Phil Hobbins jumped into the water to rescue his dog then rushed him to a pet emergency clinic. Mr Hobbins said his family were out for a walk when the puppy had run towards the 19th century Oswald’s bridge, skidded and fallen into the water below. “But it was frosty and when he jumped up to have a look at the water, he skidded and fell over the edge. “He dropped at least 40 feet onto the ice and went through into the water.
