A chilly canine was saved after he fell through the ice on a frozen river.

The poor pooch, called Rupert, was unable to clamber out himself.

He managed to get his front paws on the edge of the ice, but couldn’t climb up.

His owner called in firefighters as they waited at the bank in Braintree, Massachusetts, US.

Rupert had slipped into the cold Weymouth Fore River.

Despite wearing a little doggie coat, he was succumbing to the cold.

Two fire engines were sent to save him.
