But now someone has managed to return the favor. The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn39。t climb out, said Smith.
