Dogs are truly a treasure to behold — from their unwavering love to the endless hours of joy they bestow upon us, there’s a reason why dogs are crowned ‘man’s best friend’.
But with the festive season looming just around the corner, it got us thinking. What would happen if this year, dogs ran Christmas? Here are five predictions that we think would happen…
1. Instead of greeting your guests with a handshake or a hug, a butt sniff would suffice
It’s the warmest welcome a dog could give!
2. The three-second food rule would be banished
Making it all the easier for food-loving pooches to hoover up the discarded scraps.
Check out our top tips for keeping pets safe this Christmas.

4. Dogs would get twice the amount of presents — and they would all squeak
Which the humans wouldn’t mind, because, after all, there’s nothing quite as fun (or as chaotic) as watching a dog rip open their presents on Christmas Day. Oh, and don't forget that these presents would be accompanied by copious outdoor Christmas dog decorations to make yard zoomies ten times more fun!
