Two Labradors Who 'Love Everyone and Everything' Find Surprising Nemesis

A pair of dogs from Michigan have left the internet in stitches after their owner shared a clip of them "murdering" snowmen throughout the winter, which quickly went viral on social media.

The video, shared on Instagram in November, under the username thelabradoggies, shows a series of clips of the two Labradors running around in the snow, physically assaulting every single snowman in sight.

The hilarious post comes with a caption that says: "When your labs love everyone and everything, except... snowmen!"

Some dogs love the snow more than others, but they all need their daily walks even during the winter. According to Avenues Vet Centre, based in the U.K, you can walk your dog in the cold, as long as you wrap them up warm before leaving the house.

To get your dog ready for the freezing temperatures outside, the website suggests investing in dog jackets and socks, or boots, to keep it warm while outdoors. It is also advised to limit walk times to 15-20 minutes, to minimize exposure to the cold.

"Even though some dogs are more tolerant of cold weather, you should not leave them outside for long periods of time with no warm retreat," the website added.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across Instagram. It has so far received over 701,100 likes on the platform.

One user, chloeconamorr, commented: "The head bitten off was personal." And shannylevac said: "Snowmen were hurt in the making of this video." pepper_the_pixie added: "You should make a competition for any neighbourhood kids to see who's snowman can last the longest."

Dogmeets_baby wrote: "Everytime someone says my (small) dog played with a lab puppy today and it was great, I'm tempted to ask for a video. Must have felt like MMA."

And pennypaytonofficial said: "Too funny! We used to take our chocolate lab to the park every day and when I would sit on the swing and start swinging he'd ram into me so I'd stop. Who knows what they think at times."

Lolena_panda added: "They have strategized plans for destroying every type of snowman. Absolute warriors."
