"It was pure adrenaline. I was not even thinking about being cold," said Tatum.

As seen in the video, Tatum couldn't find Sid at first and got out of the pool to get a better look from above. She then jumped back into the freezing water and pulled the barely-conscious dog out.

The Tatums said they do not have a pool cover because they keep the pool open all year. It just so happens a pump to prevent ice had just gone out and was scheduled to be fixed before a recent storm hit.

The dog was submerged for more than 60 seconds and one vet thinks Sid did not have another minute to spare.

"I don't think this dog had another minute based on his symptoms," said veterinarian April Smith.
