The astounding clip shows him kneel on the ice to get the black dog free, before dragging it away from danger last Wednesday.
He then walks across the ice in bare feet and begins to get dressed.
A gaggle of people wrapped up in thick winter wear watch the incredibly selfless scene unfold, with one girl clapping and shouting encouragement.
The man was reportedly walking with his child when he saw the dog in peril and went to lend a hand.
