Puppy Has Most Adorable Reaction to Seeing Snow for the First Time

A video that captured the heartwarming moment an excited puppy saw snow for the first time is wowing the internet.

Roscoe, a lively six-month-old sprocker—a cross between a cocker spaniel and springer spaniel—delighted viewers with his adorable reaction to the cold weather after a clip was shared on TikTok by owner Megan.

Unlike his reluctance towards rain, Roscoe's first encounter with snow was nothing short of magical. Owner Megan told Newsweek: "As he's not a big lover of the rain, I thought he'd run straight back into the house."

But Roscoe did no such thing—instead he rushed out of the back door into the yard, which had been blanketed with a pristine layer of snow, the first of the year in the U.K. city of Newcastle.

Roscoe's uncontainable excitement is evident as he explores the snowy landscape, running and jumping with pure joy, leaving adorable paw prints in his wake.

With over 1 million views on TikTok, the video has gone viral. Megan, proud to witness and capture this memorable moment, said: "It's great to catch any first reaction on camera to look back on for memories. So why not share with others to see to remind them to get their cameras out. I can't believe how many people have viewed our video from all over the world."

Roscoe's snowy adventure prompted thousands of comments from viewers.

"First time feeling cold snow on his paw pads. So many new smells. I bet he's bubbling with excitement," said Sidney.

While viewer Ruth commented: "So cute. The look he gives you. Adorable."

"This really is a special moment, glad you got it on video to look back on. My Springer didn't know what to make of it," said Stella.

While some dogs like Roscoe love to play in the snow, others may not share the same enthusiasm. This is particularly true of breeds with shorter coats who may feel the cold more quickly.

Smaller and shorter coated dogs generally have a lower tolerance for the cold, and owners should look out for signs of discomfort in their pets.

For particularly cold days, it can be a good idea to get a good coat or jacket for your canine friend, while also remembering to dry them off and get them warm after a cold outdoor adventure.
