Southern Dogs Experiencing Snow For The First Time Is Super Heartwarming

I don’t know if you’ve ever had the good fortune of seeing a dog discover snow, but it is pure joy. I remember my then-puppy’s first snow like it was yesterday.

A rare snowstorm, however, has struck the southern U.S. — states like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida — meaning many dogs are discovering snow. After all, how often does a pup in New Orleans get to see snow? In a time where you might need some cute videos — well, that time is pretty much any time — the snow in the South is certainly delivering.

Look at this pup sprinting around.

Or this adorable, if scared, big boy.
