A GIRL aged 16 died yesterday after jumping into a swollen river in an attempt to save her dog.
The girl, who was named by neighbours as Michaela Mooney, leapt into the River Ehen in Egremont, Cumbria, shortly before 2pm.
Her boyfriend dived in to try to rescue her, but the current was too fast and Michaela was dragged 300 yards downstream before becoming caught in branches.
She was in the water for almost two hours despite a rescue attempt involving police, fire, mountain rescue and coastguard teams.
This same kind of thing happened just a couple of days ago. As I said then, you just can’t try to save a dog in this kind of circumstance. You’ll die, and so will the dog.
