Shelter dogs pick their own Christmas toys

At Dogs Trust Ireland, the Christmas shopping is left to the dogs. Nobody picks a present for them. They choose their own. more

The day has a name, Santa Paws Day, and a room to match. Stuffed toys cover the floor of the play area, and pictures of small dogs line the walls. A white dog with brown patches stands among them.

No two dogs shop the same way. A husky works along the toys nose first, sniffing one and then the next. Others are less patient, and a few grab more than one before they make up their minds.

Dogs Trust Ireland held the day for the dogs spending Christmas at the shelter. Among the other picks are an octopus and a squeaky cabbage. Whatever the toy, the tail behind it is wagging.
