A heroic young man was found dead after disappearing beneath the ice while desperately trying to save his beloved dog. Kitterman immediately leapt onto the ice to save his dog, belly-crawling across to pull the animal out, but fell into the water himself, witness reports said, per WTSP. Kitterman was once again able to get his beloved pet out, but he quickly disappeared under the icy water and never resurfaced. 'They were able to pull the dog out of the water and into a canoe, just unfortunately lost sight of their friend,' he told the outlet. Emergency crews responded immediately and a dive team spent hours in the freezing water searching for Kitterman.
