In the middle of a live broadcast, a reporter jumps into the freezing water to save a puppy in a street situation that had fallen in by accident. This is just one of the samples of all that abandoned dogs suffer. They take many risks against their lives because they do not have the protection of a home. If this reporter had not been there, the furry one might have frozen to death. Read on for all the details of this heroic story. Aleksandr Chachnov is the reporter who jumps into the freezing water in the middle of a live broadcast to save a puppy. This happened in Moscow, Russia, and was documented on video.
This man is one of the most visible faces of a Russian newscast and was doing his usual job, covering relevant events in the capital. Suddenly, he came across a furry man in distress. None of this was planned, let alone televised. Punctually, it all happened in Moscow Park. The reporter stopped his work when he saw a homeless dog fall into the icy water of the lake, he did not hesitate to jump for him. Had he not done so, the animal would have died, as the cold liquid numbed its limbs, preventing it from moving to get out of there by its own means.
The reporter made the decision to jump into the freezing water within minutes. He put aside his microphone and the script he had prepared, nothing mattered more to him than the furry’s life. He stripped off his winter clothes and plunged into the icy liquid in his underwear. His own life was at risk, which is why everyone who has seen his feat calls him a hero. For their part, those who were there celebrated the man and as he swam in the lake, they pointed out the exact spot where the endangered animal was.
What this reporter did is incredible, not only because of his willingness to help, but because it was defiant. This rescue took place in February, a month in which the Russian capital reached temperatures between -12 and -14 degrees Celsius. Although this happened at noon, the temperature was 3 degrees Celsius. All this made Alexandr go down in history, not only for his work as a reporter, but for jumping into a frozen lake to rescue the homeless animal. We are glad that both of them came out of this circumstance unscathed and we appreciate his act of empathy and solidarity. We applaud him!
