To some extent, every day is Christmas to dogs, because every day is the best day ever. Still, even if they don't understand the significance behind any of the holidays we celebrate this time of year, they know that something is up, and they are very excited about it. The humans are putting up decorations and gathering around family and friends. The number of nights that they want to spend curled up on the couch watching a movie that features a rotund gentleman in a red suit is increasing. Strangers are kinder, more generous, and even more up for giving belly rubs than usual. And the chances of getting table scraps during a veritable feast are at an all-time high.
Dogs live by the creed of, "I don't know what you're doing but I love you and want to be involved." So, when the humans are happy, the puppers are happy too. And if you want to make even more very good pups happy. check out these 30 Dogs Who Need a Home for Christmas.
