The dog is guided by instinct and the man is guided by a sense of arrogance. The man treats the dog as he treats nature. He lacks respect for both. The Dog's natural instincts tell it that they need to get out of the extreme cold. The dog does not wish to continue. It longs for the campfire it is so used to when temperatures drop to this.
