Sometimes the simplest pleasures bring the greatest joy. Ah, the memory of a good old snow day fills the heart with warmth, even in the chill of winter. It takes me back to my days of watching dogs and their families play together in the soft, cold blanket that covers the earth.
Speaking of joys and dogs, let me tell you a heartwarming tale that can brighten even the gloomiest winter day.
Meet Ravi, a black Labrador with a penchant for snow that goes beyond the ordinary canine love for winter. While many of us relish sleigh riding with our furry friends, Ravi has taken it to an entirely new level. He doesn’t need a sled; he rides solo, with a style that’s uniquely his.
Ravi’s family, unable to contain their amusement, recorded his “Ravi-style” sledding. In the video, the top layer of snow, frozen over, becomes Ravi’s slide. Since he’s on an incline, he just slides for a while, hopping and rolling in the snow. Laughter fills the air as onlookers compare him to an otter, flipping and sliding with sheer delight.
A voice can be heard exclaiming, “Oh my, god he’s hysterical.”
The look on Ravi’s face is pure joy, a kind of joy that reminds me of a Golden Retriever I once treated, who would prance around the clinic like he owned the place.
The love dogs like Ravi have for snow isn’t mere chance. Some experts believe that colder weather makes dogs more energetic, allowing them to play without overheating. Breeds that can withstand the cold are particularly drawn to winter’s merriment. Digging, pouncing, chasing, and running in the snow becomes a joyful game, much like children in a playground.
I once knew a Bernese Mountain Dog who acted similarly. He would dig through the snow as if searching for buried treasures. It’s the same joy of discovery, of play, of connection with the environment.
Ravi’s video has become more than just a family memory; it’s a shared moment of happiness that speaks to the universal bond between dogs and humans. It’s a testament to the simple joys that life offers, captured in a fleeting yet unforgettable instant.
Whatever the reason for our dogs loving the snow, it’s certainly adorable and heartwarming. And for those like Ravi, who find unique ways to revel in winter’s embrace, it becomes a spectacle of pure delight.
Please take a moment to watch the video of Ravi’s snowy escapades, and don’t hesitate to SHARE this with your friends and family. Let’s spread the joy and love that animals bring into our lives.
