A LABRADOR saved from drowning in the Thames has been named Henley’s top dog.

Diesel was the only survivor out of four six-week-old puppies placed in a bin liner and dumped in the river at Pangbourne.

After his lucky escape, he was rescued by mechanic Mark Ackerman, from Swiss Farm, Henley, who has looked after him in the four years since.
