Shirtless Hero Risks His Life To Save A Dog That Fell Through A Pond’s Thin Ice

In times of trouble, one man whipped out his camera to film the disaster, when something emerges from behind the cameraman. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Um, no. It’s a man. It’s very clearly a shirtless, barefoot man. Swooping to the rescue, he tries to help the dog by grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, but the petrified pup bites back, literally, making this rescue harder than it already is. Luckily, this unknown rescuer doesn’t mind a couple of bites for the good of dogkind, and finally, he manages to drag the panicking animal out with minimal fuss, to a chorus of cheers from bystanders.

This man deserves a medal, but if he’s a superhero, he could do with picking out a costume, or at the very least a belt. The video ends with him jogging towards the camera and back into the shadows, maybe to broodingly watch over this Russian town, but probably to put a shirt on.
