Dogs usually love playing around in the snow. It’s something different and unusual, and their natural sense of curiosity means they’ll happily wade into the unknown.

However, some dogs overestimate their ability to cope with the white stuff. And when that happens they need their bigger, burlier canine friends to help them out.

That’s exactly what happens in this video. The little dog gets stuck in snow, so the owner sends in the bigger dog to help him out.

The big dog seems unsure at first, but eventually makes his way to his little friend. And on his way back he creates a path for the little dog to follow.
