🐕 ❄️ Dog walkers! Ice, snow, and flooding make riverside paths and towpaths slippery and unpredictable. Keep your furry friend on a short lead and if they do go in, don’t jump in after them. Stay safe and enjoy your walk! #RespectTheWater Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK Canal & River Trust National Water Safety Forum
