An Illinois man has adopted a dog that he rescued from a cage thrown heartlessly into a frozen lake, giving the pup a new forever home after a heartbreaking case of abandonment.

Bryant Fritz was out fishing on Kaufman Lake in Champaign, Illinois, this past November when he spotted a dog half immersed in the frigid waters, trapped in a cage and unable to get to warmth or safety.
