Everybody deserves some holiday magic.
So, when Chris heard that Chloe was going to be alone in a shelter
for Christmas, he knew right away that he had to foster her.
“Hi, Miss Chloe!”
“Howdy, Mr. Chris!”
Chloe had lived outside for most of her life, so she wasn't familiar
with the whole holiday thing.
But Chris was determined to give Chloe the best Christmas ever.
“Come on out. Good girl!”
“Welcome to your new home.”
“Oh my gosh!”
“Smells like paradise.”
As soon as she stepped into the house, Chloe couldn't settle down.
She was just so happy to be in a real home.
And right away, Chris wasted no time getting Chloe in the holiday spirit.
“There you go!”
“Looking so festive in your little Christmas sweater.”
“I love it!”
“Look so good!”
“Thank you! I love the holidays!”
Next, it was time to decorate the tree.
Chloe couldn't exactly hang any ornaments,
but she did have a lot of opinions.
“A little more to the left.”
“Perfect.”
But this Christmas tree was missing something...
Presents!
And Chris tried to teach Chloe how to wrap presents,
but she wasn't the greatest gift wrapper-upper.
“Are you trying to eat the wrapping paper?”
“It just looked so delicious!”
“This is not for dogs.”
“But —”
“No! This is not for dogs!”
“It’s —”
“This is not for dogs.”
“OK, fine.”
And what are the holidays without some twinkly, colorful lights?
Chloe was mesmerized.
“It's beautiful!”
“It's sparkly!”
“More lights! More!”
But with Christmas Day quickly approaching, Chris still had one thing
to tell Chloe about: the magic of Santa Claus.
And immediately she was excited for a visit from the jolly man in the red suit.
“What are you looking for?”
“Santa. He's coming soon.”
“I can feel it.”
“Where is he?!”
“I just can't stop thinking about Santa.”
“Do you think Santa likes dogs named Chloe?”
He definitely does.
“Do you think I've been a good girl for Santa?”
You definitely have.
“Chloe, good morning!”
“You know what day it is?” “Is it Christmas?”
“It’s Christmas!”
“Finally!” “Are you excited?!”
“Uh, yeah!”
Chloe couldn't get downstairs fast enough.
She was so excited, and she couldn't wait to see what
Santa got her.
“Merry Christmas, Chloe!” “Merry Christmas, Chris!”
“What is it?” “I don't know!”
“It's...a bone!”
Oh, yum!
Santa sure knows how to pick the best gifts.
“Chloe!”
“Are you still munching on your Christmas presents?”
Chloe’s first Christmas was perfect, because it wasn't
just about her delicious presents.
“There you go. Merry Christmas!”
It was about being surrounded by people that loved her.
And Chris couldn't have been happier to have Chloe underneath his tree this year.
“Let's take a picture.”
“Is this our Christmas card?”
“Oh, good girl. Good girl.”
“Look this way!”
“Cheese!”
