Hunter Swims In Freezing Water & Breaks The Ice With His Bare Hands To Rescue His Dog

We have been seeing a lot of terrible news of dogs being neglected, abandoned, or abused by their owners. Their stories are simply heartbreaking. But when we see news and videos of dog owners who would do anything to rescue their pets, we know there’s still hope for humanity.

Just recently, a hunter swam in freezing water and broke the ice with his bare hands to rescue his dog who was trapped in the ice. The Swedish hunter named Jonas Lundh was hunting a moose together with his dog Rocky. The moose was running and Rocky chased after it. The moose ran to a frozen lake and got across to the small island in the middle. Rocky however was trapped in the icy lake when he ran after the moose.
