Our dogs do a million and one things throughout the year that make us crazy — they're born troublemakers — but every dog owner knows that there's no such thing as a pupper on the Naughty List, no matter how bad they may have been. It doesn't matter if they chewed up your slippers, TPd your bathroom, peed on every carpet in the house, or jumped onto the dinner table and ate an entire plate of chicken cutlets (that one might be from personal experience); your dog is your precious, sweet, adorable little baby who can do no wrong even when they do wrong.
And based on the following ridiculously cute photos of pooches, it looks like Santa, the keeper of the Nice and Naughty Lists, would have to agree. We can't decide who's cuter in these pictures — Santa or the pups (OK, obviously the doggos).
