Brian Skakun's quick actions bring happy ending to Kato's Fraser River rescue

Brian Skakun’s morning walk Saturday along the Fraser River trails south of the city turned to near-disaster when his dog Kato walked out from the shore and fell through the ice.

“I always take my dog hiking with me and he does not like water, said the 61-year-old Prince George city councilor. “We got down by the river and I was taking a bit of a break and the next thing I know I hear hm whining and looked and saw he went through some ice sticking out from the shore,” said Skakun.

The spot where Kato broke through was a deeper part of the river where an outcrop of land created an eddy current. The water wasn’t moving swiftly but it was deep.
