From the outside, it is difficult to judge the thickness of an ice layer - this is even more impossible for animals. The relatively high winter temperatures so far have made the ice layers on the waters, if they are frozen at all, very thin.

The ice on a gravel lake in Wiener Neustadt was too thin when the German Shepherd, Sarah, ventured onto it during a walk on Monday afternoon. She broke through the ice and could not save herself to the shore. The fire brigade rushed to the rescue with special equipment.
Dog Sarah fell into gravel lake in Wiener Neustadt
The frozen surface of one of the numerous gravel lakes along the Wiener Neustädter Brunnerstraße eventually became the downfall of the curious German Shepherd, Sarah. The ice gave way, and the dog fell into the water. The animal was unable to free itself from the water. The dog owner also could not safely rescue her, which is why she made the right decision and called the fire brigade emergency number.
Fire brigade rescued dog with special equipment
The Wiener Neustadt Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived at the scene shortly after the emergency call with special ice rescue equipment. This equipment is used for rescues from bodies of water and after such breaks in the ice and includes a special neoprene suit that protects the rescuer from cold and wetness and keeps them afloat.
The firefighters quickly managed to reach Sarah on the ice and safely bring her back to land. The dog was hypothermic, but otherwise well and was handed over to the owner.
