A video uploaded by @alpenspiritbmd is going viral online for its peaceful yet joyful portrayal of winter life with a pack of Bernese Mountain Dogs. The clip features five of the large, tri-colored dogs enjoying fresh snowfall around their home. Text displayed on the screen reads, “POV: you live in a Berner filled snow globe,” setting the tone for what follows.
Video shows what life with Bernese Mountain Dog pack in snow looks like
The video begins with the owner opening the door to reveal the dogs already immersed in the snowy scene. Some are seen bounding through the snow with excitement, while others take a slower pace, clearly content to lounge in the cold. One particularly striking moment shows a dog lying still in the powder as snow gently falls, gradually covering his thick fur until he nearly blends into the landscape. The mix of playful energy and quiet stillness gives the video a dreamy, almost storybook quality.
As the clip circulated, viewers quickly filled the comments with admiration. Several people joked that the scene looked like “paradise,” with one commenter asking if this was “what heaven looks like.” Others expressed a desire to be part of the setting, saying they wished they could move in with the dogs. Many longtime dog lovers chimed in to praise the Bernese Mountain Dog. One called it their “favorite breed” and noted how perfectly suited the dogs seem to snowy environments.
Bernese Mountain Dogs originated in Switzerland, where they were bred as farm dogs in the Alpine regions. Historically, they were used for pulling carts, herding cattle, and guarding farms, which explains their strength and calm temperament. Known for their thick, tri-colored coats, they are naturally well-adapted to cold climates. Berners are typically gentle, loyal, and good-natured, making them popular family dogs despite their large size.
While the breed enjoys outdoor activities, it is also known for being affectionate and relaxed at home. They are often happiest when spending time with their people or, as this video shows, alongside their fellow dogs in the snow.
