This is the adorable moment three Samoyeds shared ice cream to beat the heat.

Footage shows the white, fluffy canines licking the sweet treats held by their owner during a 34-degree Celsius weather in Guangdong, China.

They can be seen finishing the vanilla-flavoured dessert before biting the wafer cones on July 19.

Their owner said: 'The weather in my city was extremely humid and hot, and even the dogs couldn't bear the heat. They needed ice cream to cool down and quench their thirst.'

Experts said that Samoyed dogs need to be kept cool primarily because they are an Arctic breed that originated in the harsh, frigid climate of Siberia, Russia. Their entire physical makeup is designed to retain heat and withstand temperatures well below freezing.
