We got a call one morning regarding a man who had found a fox cub stuck in his swimming pool filter, it was still alive and must have been there all night obviously trying to swim out, saw a small hole and got stuck. His head was in water when we arrived and he looked so weak panting with his tongue lolling. After trying to loosen him with his body we decided to lift tiles above him and bring him through that way. Simon got into the freezing swimming pool up to his chest while I held his head to stop from drowning and tried hard to extricate him, sadly all this was too much for him and as we retrieved him he took his last breath, he had been there far too long , had hyperthermia and had given up it was a sad ending to the rescue.
