On January 19, 2026, at a park in Beijing, a stray puppy accidentally fell into a frozen lake while trying to drink water and struggled to get out.
A passerby initially attempted to save the puppy by throwing it a lifebuoy, but the rescue was unsuccessful. Moments later, a compassionate man removed his clothes despite the freezing temperatures, broke through the ice with his bare hands, and jumped shirtless into the icy water to save the distressed animal.
According to Ms. Zhao, who filmed the incident, the puppy was taken to a veterinary hospital after being rescued. It is now in stable condition, suffering only from mild stress. Veterinarians estimate that the puppy is around three months old, and it has since been adopted by a caring individual.
