There’s something truly heartwarming about watching our dogs frolic outside, basking in their favorite pastime. Regardless of whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly winter one, nothing can deter them from their cherished playtime.
When an Oklahoma owner allowed his dog to enjoy the outdoors, he had no idea what surprises awaited him, but he certainly didn’t expect the revelation that followed.
How Did This Happen?
When the owner permitted his dog to play in the cold, he merely thought the pup wanted some fresh air before heading back inside. However, the dog clearly had other plans, enjoying his playtime and relishing the outdoors.
It wasn’t long before the owner noticed something unusual in his dog’s mouth, prompting him to call his pup back inside. To his shock, he discovered that the freezing temperatures had caused the dog’s drool to ice over; it was clearly time to come in for a warm-up.
The laid-back pup, however, attempted to plead his case with those irresistible puppy eyes, hoping to convince his owner to extend their outdoor adventure a bit longer.
Understanding the importance of keeping his dog safe, the owner wisely opted to rest indoors for a while before revisiting their outdoor play.
Surprising Reactions Online
After witnessing the frozen drool, the owner decided to capture the moment and shared a short clip on his TikTok account. The video quickly gained traction, eliciting numerous reactions from viewers.
Many comments were overwhelmingly positive; one viewer quipped, “So all labs just smile and close their eyes when being talked to? I thought mine just had a smooth brain.” As a lab owner, I can confirm this is their charming way to get what they want when faced with a ‘no.’
Another person remarked: “My dog is 25% husky and apparently that’s all it takes to want to live in the snow.”
Undoubtedly, one has to marvel at the joy dogs find in winter play. In my experience, the pups I’ve known loved the winter much more than the summer.
One final comment summed it up nicely: “My lab simultaneously wants to play in the snow 24/7, yet she cries when her feet get cold, like ma’am!!! This is on you.” It seems we can all recognize the lovable stubbornness of labs—adorable babies doing their best to avoid our attempts to keep them warm.
Nonetheless, it’s heartening to witness their sheer joy when playing in the snow; their happiness never fails to brighten my day.
