A dog had to be rescued after getting stuck on a dam in Mid Wales in icy conditions.

The black and white Border Collie was able to be pulled up from the Nant y Moch reservoir dam, near Ponterwyd thanks to the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team after there were concerns for the safety of the dog's owners.

The rescuers were called to help the distressed dog after it went for a walk with its owners on Friday, December 1.

Brecon Mountain Rescue Team added that it does not offer an animal rescue service, saying "we only intervene if we have concerns about the safety of their owners".

The Powys-based Mountain rescue team were called the following day (Saturday, December 2) to help a young rider who injured their arm after falling off a horse.

Later that day rescuers went to help take two cold people to safety after Dyfed-Powys Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service were unable to reach a crash due to poor road conditions caused by ice and snow.
