Please enjoy this video from Santa Paws Day 2021 at Dogs Trust Ireland, when the dogs get to choose their own gifts. (SLTwitter) (Previously)
What a wonderful 4 minutes! Watching some of the dogs very obviously having a criteria for what they want and being very careful looking for exactly that, and other dogs just grabbing and running... Very delightful. I'm so glad you posted!

They're all very good dogs Brent.
Love seeing the various personalities and gift choosing styles. The puppy who grabbed a toy and played with it and then had to just lie down to absorb the excitement is very relatable.

Oh it is nice to see such happy puppers! I wonder how many didn't make the reel because they were less joyous. I hope everyone finds a nice new home.

I only watched about a third of it: it lifted my heart, and I figured I will need it in the weeks ahead.
That said, it's a great "tag yourself, I'm ___" game!

I like the dog that had to compare the squeakiness of two toys before deciding which to pick. Very important!

It's the whippet/greyhound/longdog that picked up the big trailing toy and galloped around with it that won my heart, truly.

The happiest tails collection...

That and the big Malamute that picked up the teeny tiny blue and yellow ball just before.

Malamutes fascinate me -- they are one of the oldest breeds in the world. For looking so wolfy inscrutable they are about the affectionate dogs there are. They just love love love people.

This is so sweet. It's an indicator of my lack of self-control that my puppy has what feels like this many toys. It's a mystery which toys will be "good" ones and which will never be touched again, there isn't much of a pattern.

my dog would've wandered in, glanced bemusedly at all the stuff on the floor, then walked up to the nearest human hoping for a treat.
