Wintery Pups

We get why people dislike winter so much — it's cold as anything, and our pups can sure get messy in the snow! But as with anything, dogs can find the beauty in this frosty season. Curl up with a hot chocolate and a thick blanket, and enjoy these photographs of dogs bringing joy in the darkest season of the year! – ERM
