So far that there wasn't a hope that he could reach her safely (the ice was not remotely thick enough for him to risk). She blithely ignored him for ages until a kind woman managed to get her attention with her higher pitched voice. He hadn't wanted to try some more effective recall techniques in case she was too enthusiastic and went through the ice. He was in a bit of a state afterwards, poor thing. She seems to have been completely unaffected, so she'll be on the lead more often.

Dad reached out to him with a branch and he clambered/held on to it to be dragged to the edge. His fur was solid when they got home. Luckily only a shortish walk back through a field.
