The first snow of the year is an exciting time, marking the beginning of the holiday season. It's even more of a thrill when you get to experience the pure joy through your dog's eyes. Nala, the Golden Retriever, had a rare opportunity to see and feel October snow during a camping trip with her dad and it's giving everyone life!

Snow camping looks good on Nala! She may be known for her famous Nala "Stomps," which she does with dog dad Chris in nearly every clip, but it's her appreciation for living each day to the fullest that many have connected with.
All around the world, the Golden's fans say this sweet girl's videos either make them laugh or cry with no in-between. I happen to agree—Nala is one of the bestest girls out there and everyone should experience a dog's unconditional love like this.

Why Do Dogs Love Snow?
There's nothing like watching a dog experience something for the first time because they can't fake their reaction. With snow, many can't wait to run around and get a feel for the cold beneath their paws. It's like the first time, every time.
According to Dogster, there are a few possible reasons dogs love snow, and the first has to do with their instincts. Wild dogs, and wolves, don't always have fresh water to drink and they have to chomp on snow when things are frozen to stay hydrated. It's in their history to use snow to their advantage.
Snow is also fun! Just like kids, pups know how to have a good time investigating and using the pliable precipitation to dig and pounce. Play time in this weather is exciting because the sensation on their paws is new, and fluffy, and it makes them want to frolic and zoom around! Simply put, it's exciting because it's not something they see everyday!
Some cold-weather and sledding breeds like Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes are pros at handling snow, but it's cool to see a happy Golden like Nala enjoying it just the same!
