Sled Dogs with Santa
As December approaches, with all the associated festivities, there is one subject that is always a bit touchy around the kennel... Reindeer! “Reindeer,” you say. “What about reindeer? We love' em!”
Well sure you do! Everybody does, after all they are Santa's favorite. But do you know why? Do you know the ancient story of how sled dogs and reindeer once vied for Santa's attention? Have you ever heard of the great mythological debate they waged against one another? Each championing their respective abilities for the honor of pulling Santa's sleigh?Not to many people have! But every sled dog has. And it burns deep in their hearts!
