A dog owner from the United Kingdom has filmed his beagle's reaction to waking up in the snow, and internet users can't cope with it.
The viral video, shared on TikTok on Sunday under the username @milothebeagleboy, shows the poster opening his front door to let the pup, Milo, out for his morning potty business, but the dog doesn't seem convinced. After briefly smelling the snow, Milo can be seen making his way back inside, staunchly sitting on the floor to prevent his owner from pushing him out.
"Buddy, you need to go for a wee; you need to have one. Come on," the poster can be heard saying. However, after a few tries, the pup reluctantly agrees to go outside. Not only that, he even refuses to get back inside when called. "Can't get him in once he's out," reads layover text in the clip, as the pup runs excitedly in the snow.
The poster, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Newsweek that, despite it looking like he was afraid of it in the beginning, Milo actually loves the snow. "Lots of snow zoomies now!!" he said.
Whatever the weather looks like, dogs still need their daily walk, and while your pup may not particularly enjoy the freezing temperatures, there are things you can do to help make their winter walks as pleasant as possible.
Some dogs, especially those bred for the snow, have very thick fur that keeps them warm during winter; however, other pups, like smaller breeds, seniors, and those with shorter coats, may need an extra layer of protection.
A sweater or insulated coat can help regulate their body temperature out in the cold, and paw pads or booties are also great options.
The American Animal Hospital Association says it is crucial that you watch out for safety hazards during your winter walks that could put your pup and yourself in danger.
Those include frozen ponds, which may crack unexpectedly; black ice, which is extremely slippery; and antifreeze spills, which easily attract dogs because of their sweet taste but, even in small quantities, can lead to serious toxicity.
The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 42,000 views and more than 1,800 likes on the platform.
One user, Joshua Mccune455, commented: "Beagles are the only creatures that. Can instantly go from 20-30lb to 10k."
Shelly Donahue said: "Fresh snow gives my beagles the zoomies."
Loukassullivan added: "My beagle freezes from cold before she gets to pee."
