Download The perfect stranger and the ice lake rescue

While husband and wife Timofey Yuriev and Melissa Kho were walking their dog, Kira, in New York state, they came across two dogs that had fallen through the ice into a freezing lake. Timofey immediately stripped off and jumped in. Why did he think he could save the dogs? Well Timofey had spent his childhood caring for animals injured in nuclear blasts, and being dunked in frozen lakes by his grandfather. So perhaps Timofey was the perfect person to carry out the rescue. Jo Fidgen takes up the story. (Photo credit: Melissa Kho.)
