: "A beautiful February day, after weeks of sub-0 temperatures and frozen lake. It starts to melt, and the dog park is packed. Many people started to notice a dog struggling when it fell through the ice. After multiple attempts to notify an owner by yelling, a 'he's fine' was heard. David didn't hesitate. After taking his shoes and pants off, he broke through the ice by jumping on his knees at first, then pounding with his arms to make a path to the struggling pup. After back on land, multiple people thanked David, except a thank you from the dog owner."
