It’s a funny thing about dogs; sometimes we spend months trying to teach them a simple “sit,” and then they go and master a complex winter sport entirely on their own. That’s exactly what happens in this video shared by @jaidenlanz, where Millie, the Labrador, stumbles upon winter activities and decides sledding is now her thing. When the clip starts, she is already carrying the big green sled up a snowy hill. Everything about her screams that she’s already decided she’s a pro. Everyone else just needs to catch up.

The clip opens with Millie gripping the sled in her mouth. And she’s marching it up a short snowy slope with purpose. She drops it at the top, paws it into position like she’s setting up equipment, and hops on the moment gravity takes over.
The onscreen text says, “POV: your puppy discovers winter has activities,” and really, that’s the perfect summary. Her back legs trail behind her as she slides, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s having too much fun.
At the bottom, there’s no pause to celebrate or regroup. Millie pops up, grabs the sled again, and bounces back uphill, tail high, eyes bright, clearly thinking, “Again, again.” Another dog hangs out nearby, unimpressed. A child plays in the snow. However, Millie is locked into her mission.
One run doesn’t quite go as planned, and she hops off mid-slide. Then she scoops up the sled and heads back up like she’s troubleshooting technique. The next attempt comes with a better angle, more speed — so much so that she nearly takes out a human at the bottom, who thankfully scrambles out of the way just in time. Millie, unfazed, keeps sliding.
The comments say it best. People are calling her “a kid in a dog suit,” imagining her at the top of the hill yelling “LOOK OUT BELOW,” and laughing at how seriously she takes her sled-retrieval duties. The video gathered over 8.1K likes quickly. It’s clear Millie’s just figured out that winter comes with slides, and she plans to take full advantage while it lasts.
