But They're So Happy

A winter storm hit much of the United States (and parts of Canada although maybe not the same storm, I didn't really look into it) last week and people were posting the fun/cute/silly videos of their winter-type dogs who did NOT want to come in from the freezing cold and snow.

What I found myself thinking as these dogs clearly revel in the temperatures they are built for.... are they then not miserable the rest of the time?

Like are these dogs spending their lives overheated or too warm and these rare snowstorms are the first time they feel comfortable and normal?

Or am I overthinking it and it's just novel for them.

Or maybe a bit of both.

I just... this is the first time it's made me kind of sad to think about these animals being so happy in the cold and snow therefore maybe being less happy the rest of the time.
