She’s a hero — no bones about it!

A Tennessee woman jumped into the deep end of a frozen swimming pool to save her beloved rescue dog from going into hypothermic shock at the bottom, according to stunning video footage.

“It was pure adrenaline,” dog owner Jennie Tatum told ABC 2. “The vet actually told me, ‘This is a miracle.’”

Tatum was filming her two pit bull-mixes frolicking in the snow at her home in Murfreesboro last week when one of them, Sid, slipped and plunged into the frigid water, the station reported.

Tatum frantically tossed her cellphone aside, hopped in up to her chest and began the breaking ice with her hands — but she couldn’t see Sid.

“I was screaming because I wanted him to know that he could come up,” she said. “My hands actually got cut when I was chopping the ice. I didn’t think about that.”

When she couldn’t find him, she climbed out of the pool and saw the pup — who was going into shock amid hypothermic temperatures — from above, backyard surveillance footage shows.

She jumped back in and pulled the 50-pound pooch out of 4-feet of water, according to the video.

“When I got him out, I didn’t know if he was breathing,” she said, adding Sid was limp and his mouth was blue. “It was pretty scary.”

Tatum and her husband rushed the dog to a vet, where he was nursed back to health the same day, according to FOX 17.

Sid is now skittish around the pool but recovering well, Tatum said.

“[The vet said] that, if it had been ten more seconds, that would have been the difference between life or death,” she said. “I was very, very thankful.”
