As winter truly sets in across Hokkaido, a video taken during a walk in Sapporo has become a hot topic.

The star of the video is a Shiba Inu! Her figure, covered in white as if dusted with powdered sugar, looks just like a Suzu Castella (a small, bell-shaped Japanese sponge cake). As she walks, shaking her head vigorously, social media has been flooded with replies like "So cute!" and "What a brave advance!"

The cute dog in the video is Hana-chan, a sesame Shiba Inu living in Sapporo. She lives with Azuki-chan, a black Shiba Inu.

We spoke with her owner, Oto-pon (@shibainu_hanazu), about the day the video was filmed.

Is Hana-chan good with snow?

The snow in Sapporo has melted for now, but what are her walks like?

So Hana-chan is strong in the cold! Perhaps she's a true Hokkaido native... or rather, a Hokkaido native dog.

Three winters ago, a video was also posted of her charging through the snow like a snowplow. It seems her fans have high hopes of seeing "Hana the snowplow" again this year.

This post of her energetically making her way through the snow is truly heartwarming.
