Seeing snow for the first time can be a joyful experience, and Zebby the Golden Retriever got to do it in this wholesome Instagram video from @zebbythegolden. Zebby just found out what snow is, and his reaction is priceless. With how he plays, runs around, digs through heaps of snow, and takes every moment in, he teaches us how to really appreciate nature.
Golden Retriever can barely contain excitement after seeing snow
In the video, the Golden Retriever steps out into a wide patch of fresh snow with trees in the background. The on-screen caption reads, “POV My dog seeing snow for the first time.” As his paws hit the snow, Zebby breaks into a sprint, running in big loops.
The canine stops to dig, as if he is trying to reach the center of the earth. He then drops his face straight into the snow and shoves forward. A moment later, he is back up and tearing around again, kicking up the snow behind him.
By the time he slows down, he looks like he is wearing snow on his fur, and honestly, he looks majestic basking in the sun. People in the comments could not get enough of the heartwarming moment, with one viewer writing, “Omg core memory,” while another could not contain their excitement as they wrote, “omg what is all of this?? Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. “ Meanwhile, others pointed out how happy he looked and how much he seemed to love every second.
Snow changes everything for dogs, from how the ground feels, how it looks, how it smells, and how it sounds. Dogs take in the world through their noses, and snow can trap scents in a way that makes the whole area feel brand new, and if you add the fun of digging and pouncing, you get the kind of zoomies Zebby showed here.
By the end, we know that Zebby did more than just see snow; he claimed the moment as his own.
