This man proves you don’t need to wear a latex costume to be a hero.
This incredible video was caught on camera in Kostroma, Russia. At first, it’s hard to understand why this half naked man is running around an icy and slippery pond. Does he belong to those ice swimmers who love going to the extremes and don’t mind taking a dive when below-freezing temperature strikes? But take a close look and you’ll see a desperate pup stuck in ice and freezing to death.
Wearing only pants, the man makes his way to the drowner and somehow manages to bring the dog to safety. It’s hard to tell how the poor canine ended up in such a tough situation, as that ice seems solid enough to hold an adult male, but one thing is clear for sure – but for the brave rescuer, the poor thing would have drowned in minutes.
Though it took him several attempts, the man eventually managed to pull the dog out of the ice trap.
