Dachshund almost vanishes in deep snow in Ontario [Video]

A determined dachshund left his owners pleading for him to come back as he was spotted ploughing away through heavy snow on their driveway.

Hilarious footage shows sausage dog Stewie using his tiny front paws to push through piles of snow and bark at requests to return.

Video of Stewie’s daring journey out into the cold was posted on TikTok by Teresa Hilton from her home in Ontario province, Canada.

In the clip, Teresa is seen watching over four of her six dogs who have briefly escaped from her Hampton home to run out through fresh snowfall.

Her big golden retriever makes light work of the white stuff, but for her dachhunds the mounds of snow seem too big an obstacle.

However one of the little dogs, Stewie, appears unfazed by the thick layer of snow and leaps out to follow the retriever.

The snow quickly become deeper than the little dachshund, and Teresa soon pleads for Stewie to return.

‘Stewie, come back! Stewie, where are you going? He’s trying very hard to get somewhere,’ she says, only getting a bark in reply. 

‘My husband was on his way out to shovel snow and four of the six dogs got out before he could stop them. They have been cooped up and wanted to go for a run,’ Teresa later explained.

‘The golden retriever made it a few feet and that cleared the way for Stewie to run but then he decided to keep running.

‘But the snow was higher than his little wiener body.’

Teresa added that Stewie made it to the end of the car where her husband found him still trying to get through the snow. 

Ontario was hit by heavy snow storms in mid-January when the video was filmed.

An area of low pressure from across from the Great Lakes caused widespread blizzards and forced road closures and flight cancellations in the capital city Toronto.

According to Environment Canada, snowfall was as deep as 18 inches at Ottawa’s International Airport. 

And while some dogs love the adventure of playing in fresh snow, some can get overwhelmed by even a small mound, like 200lb English mastiff Joe.

Hilarious footage shot by Christopher Wing from his home in New Jersey shows his huge dog refusing to cross three inches of snow which had built up on his owner’s doorstep.

But despite Joe’s refusal to cross the small pile of snow, he had in fact already been out playing in the snowy garden.

Wing repeatedly called out Joe’s name to tell him to get inside the house.

For more than 30 seconds the dog approached the door and retreated once it got too close to the mound of snow. 

Eventually Wing had to find his snow shovel and clear the tiny blockage allowing his pet to return home.
