Water Hazards

A near tragedy when I took my puppy for a walk and was unaware of the culverts due to the over topping of the road by flood water.   She had disappeared into some long grass and then did not come out. Out of my sight, she had been swept into the upstream side of the culvert and luckily she was flushed out the downstream side, after her under road and underwater swim, fairly quickly.

Sadly, I know of several drastically worse outcomes from encounters with thin ice or other water hazards.
