Social media, Instagram in particular, has bred a new kind of celebrity, and we at Life With Dogs are fans. From tiny adorable Tuna, the Chiweenie with the ridiculous underbite to massive Molly and Boomer, the Newfoundlands and their little Pom companion, Lady, sadly, there are hundreds of hounds who will always have more followers than you.

The folks at PopDust recently pointed a spotlight on a new golden boy. A literal one. Aspen the Mountain Pup is a handsome golden retriever who shares outdoorsy adventures with his family — and looks mighty handsome while doing it.

Photographer Hunter Lawrence, and his wife Sarah, live in Aspen, CO, and say their 4-year-old boy loves the snow so much, he sometimes tries to eat it!

“He loves getting buried in the snow and he really likes the cold water and diving in,” Lawrence told CNN. And added that his hound gets plenty of attention “IRL,” as well.

“Ever since he was little, my wife has always said it takes us ages to get anywhere because he’s so cute.Every time we take him out there’s always a crowd of people around him. He’s a great dog.”
