Pancho the Chihuahua disappears from view as he plays in the snow

A new video demonstrates why small and frail Chihuahuas are best kept indoors during snowy weather.

Footage shows Pancho the puppy being thrown into inches of white powder while on a winter vacation in Bardonecchia, Italy, only to be lost from view.

His body leaves a gaping hole in the frosty ground with grass poking through but the tiny canine is nowhere to be seen.
