When I was a child, our back garden sloped away downhill from the house. The back step was about 4' long with a foot or so drop the first section of garden.
One winter when the current dog combination was a Retriever and a Jack Russell, the big dog shot out into the deep snow which had fallen overnight and was up to his shoulders in it once he'd got beyond the step. The wee Jack Russell ran after him and completely disappeared. We had to get the Retriever to find him and dig him out.
