Brave Man Runs Onto Icy Pond With No Shoes Or Shirt To Save Drowning Dog

A Good Samaritan went above and beyond to save the life of a dog in a desperate situation. A man in Russia wasn’t wearing shoes or a shirt when he braved the icy cold to save a drowning dog.

The unnamed man makes his way out to the hole in the icy pond where the dog had fallen through.

When he tries to get the dog out, the dog snarls and bites at him. It’s obvious the dog was in a panic and very scared.

The dog bites his savior a few times, before the hero is able to pull the pup from the water and to safety!


Alexander Levashov was on hand to film the dog’s rescue and the brave man’s actions.

After being freed, the dog runs out of the frame and the man is seen washing some snow into his bitten and bleeding hand.

Apparently, Levashov says that emergency services came and gave some first aid to the man and that the dog may be a local stray, who is known to hunt ducks in the pond.

Let’s hope the dog finds someone to help him out of his homeless situation. But, most certainly the Good Samaritan’s actions are to be applauded!
