Another huge thumbs up for Robert 👍🏻 He’s done several jobs for us over the years and has always been quick, efficient and reliable. Most recently, our 20+-year-old boiler packed up during the coldest time of the year and he fixed it in 20 minutes. He’s Gas Safe registered and has done checks for us multiple times. Highly recommended. Robert Mills (07952 584171) -

Official advice is NEVER to do this. It almost invariably results in a human fatality as well. Also you have no idea of the age / health etc of the owner. What if it was an 80yr old person using a mobility scooter, you still going to suggest that they vault the fence and dive in? Even if it was a healthy and able person, unless you are an experienced open water swimmer, cold shock will kill most people in minutes (often less). And while that lake isn't especially deep, there could be all manner of detritus on the bottom of it, obstacles that could snag a person, puncture through a shoe etc. Sorry but while I hate to see a dog get into trouble like that, your suggestion that the owner should "just" have leapt in to help is utterly wrong. They'd have been fishing a human body out as well as the dog. Edit: also if you jump in after the dog and start trying to catch it, it may think it's all a big game and get excited. What you actually need to do is to stand on the bank and call it back. -
If they've broken a law or local regulation then yes they probably should be.
