This is the joyous moment a Puerto Rican rescue dog saw snow for the first time – and ran circles around his frosty garden in excitement.

Yoda, a two-year-old chihuahua-dachshund mix, was a street dog in Dorado, Puerto Rico, before he was adopted and relocated to Phoenix, Maryland, in March 2017 thanks to the work of the Love of Satos animal rescue charity.

The excitable pooch was adopted in April by Heather Bauer, 26, who first spotted Yoda’s photograph posted on Facebook page of Animal Rescue Inc, a Pennsylvania affiliate of Yoda’s rescuers.

The lovable mutt, who grew up in a climate where the average temperature is 75°F, embraced the snow like a pro while his brother, six-year-old corgie-pitbull mix Cooper, looked on in disbelief.
