Most dogs bolt indoors the second the snow starts falling. But Ivy, a lovable Bernese Mountain Dog, isn’t most dogs.
In a now-viral TikTok clip, her owner tries and fails to convince her to come in from the snowstorm. Ivy’s response? A stubborn, adorable NOPE.

The video shows Ivy standing proudly on the snow-covered deck, tail wagging as flakes swirl around her. A caption reveals she’s been outside for six hours straight. Yes, six. At this point, she’s not just tolerating the snow—she’s hosting it.
Even dinner couldn’t lure her inside. “She made me bring her dinner outside…” the owner confesses.
Viewers couldn’t get enough. One fan joked, “She’s like ‘no, you come out here. It’s not that bad.’” Another chimed in, “She’s like I was made for this weather!”
And honestly? She was.
Why Some Dogs Are Born for the Snow
While many pups retreat under blankets, cold-weather breeds like Ivy embrace winter with unmatched enthusiasm. Originating from snowy Swiss farms, Bernese Mountain Dogs boast thick double coats built for icy adventures. Naturally, snowstorms don’t faze them, but invigorate them.
However, Ivy’s obsession with snow isn’t just about her rugged genetics. For dogs like her, a fresh blanket of powder offers more than physical comfort. It stimulates the senses with new scents and the quiet magic of a nighttime snowfall. Everything transforms into an outdoor playground.
Then there’s Ivy’s personality. She doesn’t simply enjoy the snow; she thrives in it. At the end of the video, she drops into a full play bow, tail wagging and eyes twinkling. One commenter summed it up perfectly: “Cutest play bow ever! How could you resist it??!!”
Despite the late hour, Ivy stayed out, blanketed in snow, eyes locked on her human with a look that clearly said, “I’m not done yet.”
Was she being stubborn? Not at all. She was being herself—a snow-loving mountain dog, in her element.
