A Saskatoon woman had a scary Sunday afternoon after she fell through the ice while walking her dogs.
Just before 2 p.m. CST, police, fire and ambulance crews were called to the riverbank on the south side of the new commuter bridge.
They found a 28-year-old woman who had fallen through the ice.
The woman was walking dogs in the area when two of them ran onto the ice, apparently chasing birds, police said in a news release.
The dogs crashed through the ice, and the woman also fell through while trying to rescue them.
She was able to get out of the water thanks to a bystander who used a stick to pull her to shore.
The woman was treated for hypothermia and taken to St. Paul's Hospital for treatment.
Neither of the dogs were injured.
