It's not every day that a four-legged tyke gets to sit on Santa Claus' lap - that's a privilege generally reserved for their tiniest two-legged humans.
But good news, canines of the world! There is a Santa for you too. Or at least there is if you're a griffon and you live in Los Angeles.
In a classic holiday move by the portly man who loves sooty chimneys and flying reindeer, a Christmas party was held at the Southern California Brussels Griffons Club to bring a little more joy to the world. The party comprised 30 griffons of all shapes and sizes, and arrayed in appropriately red and tasseled clothes, escorted by their respective owners (or rather their parents, as a lady tells us in the video).
Turns out that these dogs did indeed sit on Santa's lap and woofed out their this-is-what-I-want-for-Christmas-list. Looks like the question that's dogged many a canine - 'who's a good dog?' - has finally been answered by Santa who, as those on the 'naughty' list know only too well, does not talk to bad boys. Sorry, rest of the dog-world.
