He was n’t about to be blamed for wet footprints on the rug , no sir .
You might see a 205 - poundEnglish mastiffspooked by a few inches of snowfall , but I see a hardy dog who knows what he wants , unwilling to compromise until he gets it .
The large lad in question is Joe , frankfurter of big - time cast - iron skillet fan Chris , who goes bycast_iron_chrison TikTok . He posteda videoof Joe stand in the coke just beyond the snowy doorway Jan. 29 .

Chris and his cooperator — I take — are strain to get Joe to make out inside from the Baron Snow of Leicester . But he wo n’t . Why ? Snow , about 3 inches deserving , has drift up against the door skeleton , and it is much too high for this elephantine wienerwurst to span . At his humankind ' insistence , he tries four clock time to come near the threshold , but the intimidating snow experience him every metre . After the fourth try , he ’s done , hang back to see what his man are function to do about this serious problem .
His parents , no doubt timeworn of pleading with a steadfast bounder but also pretty amused , give in . Chris grabs the excavator and quickly clear off the doorsill , and a now quite - snow-covered Joe , 8 , returns to the warm indoors . Our guy wanted an well-to-do path inside and he got it , dang it . He was n’t about to be pick for smashed footmark on the carpet .
The diverting telecasting of Joe ’s commitment to a secure , trip - free ledger entry has earned more than 2.1 million views so far . Along with appropriate amounts of C. P. Snow , Joe also loveshis blanketand ( we think)his sister Lucy .
So as we make it through the last snowfall of wintertime — we hope — check that you elucidate out space for your dogs like Joe ’s parent did . And if you ’re using meth thawing , ensure it’sa pet - favorable form .
