Doggy swirls in the snow. Funny when people tell us they're concerned about Marduk being left out in the cold. Don't worry, he's can use the dog door whenever he pleases. Also, is husky XD

I enjoyed Aaron Blaise's "Snow Bear" so much it brought up a lot of appreciate and nostalgia for his work in general. I'm always captivated by stories that can be told by little to no words. #aaronblaise #snowbear #animation #beautyandthebeast #visualstorytelling
