Six-year-old Sophia, a beautiful St Bernard, was diagnosed with bone cancer about two months ago. Her owner Alyson Page decided to make her happy at least one last time – she took her to the Chill Factore indoor ski centre in Manchester, because nothing spells “fun” for a St Bernard more than snow.

In the heartbreaking video below, you can see Sophia enjoying herself in the snow.  Her owner said that she hadn’t shown any interest in pretty much anything for quite some time. She added: “…just to see her with a waggy tail and diving around in the snow has just been amazing”

This all took place just hours before she was due to be put down, which makes the video even sadder (which we didn’t think was possible).
