The black Lab who sleds downhill on his side

The top of a snowy hill looks like a fine place to rest. Rafi, a black Labrador out on a winter hike with his family, has other ideas. more

He starts out the way any dog would, ready to roll around. But the snow on this hill is different. It is packed hard, with a slick, icy layer on top.

Rafi heads across the snow on a sunny winter hike with his family.

So Rafi lies down on his side and lets the hill do the work. Down he goes like a sled. At the bottom he gets up, walks back to the top and goes again.

His family can't get enough. "Do it again," they call, over and over, and Rafi is more than happy to oblige. "Slide down, boy. Slide."

The top of a snowy hill looks like a fine place to rest.

On one run he seems to be swimming through the snow instead of sliding on it. "He's like an otter," someone says, and the laughing gets harder. "I don't know, he's so strange."

Down in the snow again, Rafi looks more otter than dog to his family.

Some runs are long and some are short, depending on the shape of the slope and the snow. "Come on, go longer," someone calls.

A little later it's "Oh my God, he's hysterical." For a lot of viewers, that laughing family is the best part, and one swears Rafi knows exactly who his audience is.

Between runs he sits up in the snow, a dark shape against all that white, while somebody calls him over to go again from there.

Most dogs are happy just to roll around in the snow. Rafi found a way to ride it.
