She told the Yorkshire Evening Post: ‘When we got to the lake, I could see a dog in the water, it was trying to get on to the ice but kept falling back in.

‘I felt panic-stricken and scoured the side of the lake for a life buoy but couldn’t find one. Luckily that guy came along – he lowered himself into the water and the rest is on the video.’

After the rescue, Mr Pell’s friend gave him his jacket and the men carried on with their run.

Mr Pell, who lives in Featherstone, said he was an experienced cold-water swimmer and advised others not to copy his actions as it could be dangerous.
