Bailey the snow dog

There are dogs who play in the snow. Then there are dogs who PLAY!!! in the SNOW!!!

Bailey's not around anymore, but her owner -- and thousands of others -- are still enjoying her through this YouTube video.

It was shot by the owner in the late 1990s in his backyard near Ward, Colo., after a blizzard dumped more than 50 inches of snow in 48 hours.

Bailey died in a house fire in 1998, the owner wrote "so this is all I have left ... Truly, she was unique -- she was also a self-taught skier, ice skater, and first-class snuggler. Anyway, I'm glad she is now bringing as much pleasure to you as she continues to bring to me. Cheers to dogs, and to all those that love them!"

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
