A woman in Alaska has gone missing after entering a partially frozen river while trying to rescue one of their dogs. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon near the Eagle River when the couple's dog went into the water. The woman went in after the dog, but unfortunately, she disappeared. Despite search efforts by authorities and a dive rescue team, no trace of the woman has been found. The search is expected to resume on Tuesday when daylight returns.
