Every dog has its own unique personality and habits. Some enjoy having fun in a bath, others can’t resist a day of endless play, or some simply prefer a peaceful nap. But have you ever encountered a dog with an incredible passion for snow? Meet Phil, a canine who shares a deep love for snow. Adorably, to cherish this lovely canine, her dad decided to build a special snow fort just for her.
Aɱaпda Killen and her partner, Phil, were on the lookout for an adoptive dog one day when they came across Sakari, a husky who had seen her share of tough ᴛι̇ɱes. She had spent most of her life in a cramped kennel with 40 other dogs, missing out on the simple pleasures of the outdoors.
“Phil and I went to see the potential dogs that this person was rehoming as we wanted to add an older dog to our home,” Killen told The Dodo, an animal channel. “We had no idea what we were walking into.”
When they first came to Sakari’s past home in December 2021, the breeder who owned Sakari was already under investigation by the New Brunswick SPCA. And it was lucky that, shortly after Aɱaпda and Phil’s visit, all the remaining dogs were rescued.
Among them, Sakari stood out. As soon as they met her, Sakari approached them with a gentle, affectionate attitude, lying down at their feet. Kilen and Phil immediately knew that she was the one they had been searching for.
Although initially ᴛι̇ɱid and anxious, Sakari displayed deep feelings for Aɱaпda and Phil. They decided to bring her into their home, and Sakari willingly hopped into their car. Right from the start, Sakari showered them with love and trust.
Transitioning to her new home presented some challenges for Sakari. She was sensitive to changes in her environment, even minor ones like rearranging furniture. She also felt uneasy around loud noises and rapid movements, particularly with unfamiliar adults. However, she got along wonderfully with kids and other animals, showing a special fondness for caring for a new baby in the family.
Sakari had two great loves in her life: her dad, and snow. She quickly bonded with Phil and sought comfort in his presence. Their shared passion was playing in the snow, with Sakari thoroughly enjoying it when Phil covered her in the chilling snow during their outdoor adventures.
“Phil just kind of started putting snow on her [one day]. She just laid there, so he kept burying her!” Killen said. “I think she would have laid there all day.”
Unfortunately, the New Brunswick winter didn’t bring as much snow as Sakari would have liked, so Phil couldn’t build her any more snow forts. Nevertheless, Sakari cherished every moment in the snow, no matter how limited it was.
Her life was rich with love, cuddles, treats, and the freedom to explore their fenced yard. Her favorite spot was snuggled up in her bed behind the couch, close to her huɱaпs but safely out of the way of foot traffic.
Sakari had finally found the life she deserved, one filled with family, love, and, of course, lots of snow.
