Here are 12 superb pictures from our Sheffield Star readers who have been sharing their much-loved furry-four-leggers whose irresistible joie de vivre in these extreme weather conditions cannot fail to put a smile on our faces.
Our bigger canine friends have been relishing the deep snow without any problems but clearly there are plenty of feisty little fellas too who have refused to be deterred by the snowdrifts and have refused to miss out on all the fun.
Something primal seems to kick in with our pampered pooches when it comes to snow as they throw themselves at it so wholeheartedly and we hope these pictures help capture their joyous spirit. But why should dogs have all the fun? See if you can spot the intruder in this gallery with a 13th bonus picture for our feline-loving readers.
