Ah the winter season! Snow, wind, and when you embrace the weather, tons of fun! There are so many great winter activities: skiing, skating, and of course, playing in the snow. Many dogs LOVE to run around in the snow and some even like to help you build snowmen.

Don't believe us? Well we have a few pictures and videos that might change your mind.

This German Shepherd loves the snow and is no passive observer when it comes to building a snowman. He gets right in the action and helps roll the snowballs. Check him out.
 

How awesome is that?

While this Golden Retriever may not be rolling the snowballs, he's definitely down to retrieve the sticks.

If you thought that German Shepherd was good at making snowballs, check out this Belgian Malinois! She's got the process down pat (no pun intended!).
 

Did a dog help build this actual DOG snowman? Or was this strictly a human-made masterpiece?

What dog breed do you think this little guy is?

This Bernese Mountain Dog might not be the best snowman helper…

But looks like he's a good taker.

And this Labrador Retriever is definitely in the winter spirit. He has a hop in his step as he helps the kids build their snowman.
 

​But certainly, nothing compares to this Bulldog snow sculpture. Now the rest of us just look like amateurs.
 

The Bulldog himself, however, doesn't look too impressed.
