Some wear uniforms and cut through ice to save a dog’s life. They later adopt it, too. 

We are talking about Turkish police officer, Burak Okten, whose video of swimming in ice-cold waters of a lake in Van, is going viral on Twitter. 

Having spotted a puppy clinging to icy surface some 150m from the shore, Burak wore a wet suit and broke the ice with his hand to reach it. 

Thanks to his efforts, the dog was successfully brought to the vets. However, no one thought it would survive hypothermia. 

But it did. 

It was nothing less than a miracle, according to Burak, who later adopted the puppy and named it ‘Buz’. In Turkish, ‘Buz’ means ice. 

This story could melt even ice-cold hearts. Hoping nothing but the best for Burak and his Buz.
