Of all the wonderful things that there are to do around the Holiday Season, there is one that probably sits atop the list for many a pawrent. And that is taking your canine or hooman child to meet Santa. A rather peculiar practice when you take a moment to think about it, but heck, it is insanely cute and if your child can manage to keep calm for the time it takes to queue up and meet Mr Kringle, then it can give you a festive memory to last a lifetime.

But if that was not all too clear to you and you find yourself debating whether you actually want to wait around for what might be a really long time, then we made this list of sweet Santa dog photos to help you make up your mind. Just be aware that the high dosage of cuteness may leave you in a pupper induced puddle on the floor.

  • Well, this is quite the mix of emotions and let’s be frank, a scene that we have seen more than we might care to admit with our own hooman children. The moment when Santa at the mall thinks he is doing a good job, versus the child who is utterly anguished by the idea of being touched by Santa for another second. Truly ruff stuff as they say.

  • It is rather spot on what they say about us pawrents making our children do things in the name of making us happy rather than for their betterment. Because let’s face it, neither of these doggos, nor many hooman children will look back upon their photos with Santa and get all misty eyed. No, that will be us pawrents if anyone.
