Lawrence chimed in and told the rest of the story, saying one of the dogs fell in and "he jumped into the frozen lake to save the dog."

The incident was shocking to his dogs as they are used to the humid weather of Southern California.
To elaborate more on what happened after the shocking incident, one of his pets licked the other one, and they were all in the frozen lake together.
The dogs DiCaprio was talking about in his story were rescued by the actor and his girlfriend, Camila Morrone. They also share a husky named Sally.
Not the First Time Leonardo DiCaprio Saved Someone from Drowning
Last year, DiCaprio and Morrone embarked on a holiday vacation near St. Barts. The couple and their friends rented a boat, and they heard an emergency call about a man who fell from another yacht.
An insider said the actor, his friends, and their boat captain decided to join the search to save the drunken man's life.
They were able to save the man, who had been in the water for over 11 hours.
Everyone was reportedly happy that they were able to help and assist the man to safety.
