Can ice water harm my German Shepherd?

I took a few Snapchats of my German Shepherd playfully drinking some ice water and playing with her bowl. A friend of mine, who happens to think she knows everything due to being a K9 handler, said it can kill her. She wasn’t drinking it too fast, nor was she overexerting herself. Is she right though? Should I not give her any more ice water?

We would best hide out for the winter if freezing water can kill a dog. I’ve never seen heaps of dog carcasses following a blizzard, so I’m not sure.

I’ve never had any problems with my GSD eating ice cubes like she does. Sounds like an archaic urban legend of some sort.
