Festive Family Pawtraits: 24 Doggos Ho Ho Howling With Happiness After Meeting Santa for the First Time

Happy 16 days until Christmas, animal fam! One of the things we love most about Christmastime isn't going to the mall to get presents for all of our loved ones - it's doing and getting a picture with Santa. Not for us (that would be weird), but for our super sweet, pawdorable puppers. They have mixed feelings about it, but it makes for a great Christmas card every year. One of our dogs loves it, she loves the attention, and the other one looks at us like we are committing a crime against them. But, they get lots of treatos after, so we feel that everyone is fairly compensated.

We just think it's too cute to pass up every year, and apparently we're not the only ones! Lots of pawrents take their doggos to sit on Santa Paws's lap, and the pictures are just as pawfect as you expect them to be. Prepaw yourself for a listicle of puppy smiles, Christmas joy, and lots of good boys being good boys, and undoubtedly ending up on Santa's nice list. Enjoy!
