A dog named Otis has left the internet in stitches after a video of him walking outside in the snow with his mom, all wrapped up in winter clothes and boots went viral on social media.
In the video, shared on TikTok on Thursday by the dog's owner, under the username Delaneypater, the pit bull can be seen taking a walk in the snow with his owner, wrapped up in a dog jacket and boots, and a hat with bunny ears on his head. The dog is walking fast as his mom films him, as if he couldn't wait to be back home, away from the frosty Canadian snow.
The hilarious video comes with a caption that says: "Walking your dog in Canada be like: we love -35 hey Otis? Girl if you don't take this thing off my head. Not gonna stop us though." Followed by: "We love a good -35 outdoor stroll. Jokes—we're both ready for summer lmao."

However, the website states that pit bulls can still thrive in the cold, with the appropriate care and adequate warmth. Making sure a pit bull has a "jacket and booties" will help them remain warm in colder temperatures, according to WX Research.
The video quickly attracted animal lovers from all over the platform, receiving over 257,000 views and 32,500 likes so far.
