<p>Sami the King Charles spaniel likes to keep his owners safe. So, when a snowman appeared in the garden, he was on it, trying to scare off the intruder, until its head rolled off, giving poor Sami the fright of his life.</p><p>Owner Gillian O’Donnell, from Limerick, Ireland, told Storyful: “Sami has small-dog syndrome. He barks at anything that might be a threat to our house, especially birds and cats. This was his first time seeing snow and he wanted to make sure to ward off the snowman in the garden.”</p><p>O’Donnell added: “Sami is a complete softie at heart and this video proves just that.” Credit: Gillian O’Donnell via Storyful</p><br />
