Young couple die trying to save pet dog in reservoir

2007-09-07

 

A young couple in Shenzhen's Baoan District drowned

after they jumped into a reservoir Monday to rescue

their pet dog.

 

The accident happened after the couple, who were in

their 20s, took out their dog for an evening walk

along the reservoir. After the dog leapt into

reservoir, the man immediately jumped into the water

to rescue the dog. The woman followed him 10 minutes

later after the man failed to rescue their pet.

 

When police arrived at the scene, both of them were

already drowned. Neighbors said both of them were not

good swimmers. The dog, however, was rescued from the

reservoir by the police.
