  We have investigated the kagom\'{e} ice behavior of the dipolar spin-ice
compound Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7} in magnetic field along a [111] direction using
neutron scattering and Monte Carlo simulations. The spin correlations show that
the kagom\'{e} ice behavior predicted for the nearest-neighbor (NN) interacting
model, where the field induces dimensional reduction and spins are frustrated
in each two-dimensional kagom\'{e} lattice, occurs in the dipole interacting
system. The spins freeze at low temperatures within the macroscopically
degenerate ground states of the NN model.
