This Brave Man Jumps Into Icy Water To Save A Tiny Dog From Drowning
Animals are ultimately unpredictable, and dogs, especially, are prone to taking off if they spot a squirrel or something that catches their attention. For this woman, she had no idea what was going to happen next when she lost her dog.
Most of us would try to help a little animal in danger if we saw one. Animals get themselves into sticky situations all the time.
Sometimes, the help of a kind and brave human can be the perfect match for an animal in distress. We've almost all seen posts about humans helping animals or saving them from various situations.
Helping animals seems to be in our nature because they are so helpless in some situations. This particular situation involved a dog that was stuck in an icy pond, and a man who couldn't stay afloat.
This brave man jumped in and saved the dog once he realized how dire the situation really was or how bad it could become. It's acts of kindness like this that keep our world happy and safe.
This man is brave and could have been hurt himself, but he put the dog first and helped it. This gives us hope in humanity.
It's safe to say that we don't deserve the love we receive from animals, so it is amazing when we see a fellow person helping a beautiful animal. Let's look into this heartwarming story of a man saving a dog from an icy pond.
Don Chatten was enjoying a walk with his two dogs at the park; it was quite chilly outside in Buffalo, New York.
They were at Ellicott Creek Park when a woman approached Don to ask for help because she could not find her dog. Don, of course, helped the woman, and it didn't take long before he spotted the tiny dog.
The dog was struggling to stay above water in an icy pond right next to them.
Don decided to call 911 for assistance, but he quickly realized that he might not have time to wait for help because the dog was in danger.
Don took it upon himself to help the dog in need. He tried crawling on top of the ice, but it quickly broke beneath him; however, he eventually managed to reach the desperate dog.
Don explained for WKBW News
“The dog spotted something in the water, a duck or something, and started to chase it. I knew it wasn’t very deep in this part because I used to come here when I was a kid.”
Here's more information on the actions Don took to save this furball.
This is such a touching story, and we love to see people helping animals. This woman is lucky that Don was there to help her pup.
Don is a brave man for jumping into an icy pond to save a woman's dog, despite the weather conditions and the danger of being in the cold, icy water himself. It is beautiful to see people performing such selfless acts of kindness.
