'Say Cheese, Fido!' — Pets Visit Santa

Tri-City pets get chance to take photos with St. Nick. Pets will have another chance on Dec. 5 and 12.

Violet and Spencer want beef jerky for Christmas. Kikin wants a steak. And all Brittney wants is for one of her four legs to get better.

These Tri-City dogs and their families visited Santa Monday night at the first of three Pet Pics with St. Nick events at NewPark Mall.

And for Santa, the holiday spirit and wishes never stop and has no limits with the furry creatures.
