The path was covered in thick snow on all sides. During the hike, the owner suddenly and impulsively jumped into the snow on the side of the road. The dog, behind, stopped for a moment, seemingly bewildered by the sudden action, but a few seconds later, it followed suit, jumping into the snow as if imitating its owner.
