Fido is a part of the family too, so of course, he gets a gift (in some cases many many gifts)!

Our pets are a big part of the family, so yes, they make the Christmas shopping list. They might even have a stocking hung by the chimney with care.

Rover and Santa go way back. Why do you think they get along so well when you take him for his annual Christmas photo.
