A Good Samaritan went above and beyond to save the life of a dog in a desperate situation. A man in Russia wasnโt 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. Itโs 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 dogโs rescue and the brave manโs 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.

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