Darcy Bell, a 31-year-old British man, was walking by the lake in Pontefract Park recently when he found a puppy struggling on the frozen lake. He originally thought the dog was playing on the frozen water, but then he felt something was not right, and then immediately jumped into the sub-zero temperature ice lake to rescue the poor dog.

According to reports, Darcy Bell found a dog struggling and shaking in the frozen lake at the lake in Pontefract Park last week. He immediately jumped into the lake to save the dog who was about to drown. Bell also said that he originally thought that the dog was playing on the lake by itself, but later he discovered something strange and caused a commotion around him. He also saw the dog in the lake with eyes that seemed to be asking me for help, so I ran to the lake to save it.

It is understood that Bell is now a security engineer and was an athlete in the past. Physical training is necessary in severe weather. It is instinctive to jump into the lake to save the dog. He also said that swimming in icy water has become a normal thing, and I am just an unsung hero.

In addition, Bell also mentioned that if ordinary people encounter this situation, they should determine whether their body can bear the subzero temperature water, or look around to see if there are branches or floating objects, and throw them into the lake to prevent the dog from drowning. He also called on people who are not used to swimming in cold water not to do this! It is also recommended that safety barriers should be set up around the lake to minimize accidents.
