Dogs and their relationship with snow is complicated, and you might not expect what this Husky does in this hilarious video from Instagram user @missclairol. Gizmo acts like she has found her true purpose in life in the snow. She walks with confidence, pauses for a second, and then dunks her face into the snow as if it were the most ordinary thing she could do.
Dog adorably dunks face in snow in cute video
In the video shared by @missclairol, a Husky called Gizmo paces forward across an open stretch of snow with serious focus, like she is about to make a life-changing decision. She keeps her head down as she moves, and when she reaches one spot, she stops and stares at the ground for a beat before she commits to it.
Gizmo suddenly jumps and dunks her face straight into the snow, head first. She holds the position for a moment, then lifts her head back out and sits there calmly, as if nothing happened — and now, snow clings to her muzzle while she still manages to look completely majestic.
The caption says, “Gizmo is fun,” and viewers in the comments agree. Many dog owners recognized the move right away, with one viewer writing, “I love when the doggos do that,” and another adding, “My husky did this all the time and I was always so delighted by it.” A third user graded the performance, commenting, “10 out of 10! Excellent form!”
However, a few confused viewers wondered what was going through Gizmo’s head before the dramatic plunge. One user asked, “Is there something they are smelling under there?” And that guess is not far off. Many dogs treat snow like a scent puzzle — cold air can help smells linger close to the ground, and some dogs also track tiny sounds or movement under the surface. As one commenter explained, “They hear the mice running around beneath the snow. My dog does this as well.”
But sometimes, Huskies may just enjoy the feel of snow on their face. Either way, the pooch’s little snow dunk in the video has the internet rooting for her.
