A clip that has gone viral shows a shirtless man smashing through ice with his bare hands.

Believed to have been filmed in Russia, the man apparently swam through freezing water to help his dog, who was trapped in the ice, as reported by Littlethings.com.

He then puts the dog underneath in his arm and then swam back through the frozen river until he was close enough to fish the dog out.

The video doesn’t show the dog up close, and it’s not clear what happened to the dog after it was rescued.
