Couple dies trying to rescue dog from lake

Police told The Westfield News that he became distressed and his wife, 61-year-old Patricia Cyr, tried to rescue him. Their daughter, Miranda Landry, told The Boston Globe that her mother jumped into the water despite not being able to swim. “It doesn’t surprise me at all,” Landry said. “I know that’s what she would do.” Other boaters, alerted by screams, helped pull the couple from the water.
