Dog Leads Owner Through Maze of Snow in California Backyard

A woman and her dog in Truckee, California, inspected the heavy snowfall in their backyard on Monday, February 27, after a series of winter storms dumped several feet of snow in the area.

Footage recorded by Jenelle Potvin shows snow piled high on the roofs of her house and vehicles in her backyard.

“My dog Bruno was leading me through the maze of snow in our backyard,” Potvin said.

Potvin told Storyful that Bruno turned three years old in January, and his dad, Boomer, is a fifth-generation avalanche dog at Palisades Tahoe ski resort.

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Reno predicted strong winds and heavy snow, with whiteout conditions continuing until Wednesday. Credit: Jenelle Potvin via Storyful
