What do you do once a life-threatening situation knocks at your door? It’s hard to imagine until the incident happens, and all you have is the adrenaline to fuel your guts. Asking people around you what they would have done in case someone needed help in a tricky and life-threatening situation, many will offer a number of quick solutions. Unfortunately, it’s always easier said than done.

In most cases, a majority of people would suffer a brain freeze; it’s normal during fight and flight situations. One man from Simferopol, Crimea stumbled upon such a hard decision-making situation. He took it upon himself to save a dog that was struggling to pull itself out of a frozen pond.

No one could explain how this little dog that had caught the man's eye managed to find itself in the ice-cold waters. The waters happened to be Gagarin pond, according to the video description. The heroic man knew he had to beat time and fight through the freezing waters in the pond to save himself and the dog. It wouldn’t be an easy task for him to get to the dog in time before it gave in to the cold splitting waters.

Looking at the helpless little dog in the freezing waters, it fought to stay afloat by aimlessly paddling around the waters, trying to find some bearing. In the race against time and nature, if the rescuer hadn’t shown up, the little four-legged animal would have exhausted all its energy from the endless paddling. Also, due to the cold water, the dog would soon become numb, which would prevent it from making any efforts to save its life.

It was up to this heroic man to make the difference for the little dog. The good Samaritan dived right in, right on time, sacrificing his own comfort and safety to save the little pup.

Without second-guessing the situation, he took off his clothes, tested the freezing waters with his feet, got into the pond, swam towards the dog, and took it out before it could give up. The little dog got a boost, found its footing, and began to swim towards the safe grounds. The man followed it back, and both got out of the water safe and sound.
