Since dogs can't write to Santa by themselves…

Moms make their kids do all sorts of chores and this sounds like a first, but not too unpleasant.

Anthony in Texas tweeted that his mother had him write a letter to Santa containing a wishlist for the family dog, and Anthony seems to have delivered.

He crafted a card for little Chuy's message to the big man.

What were the requests? Take a look. Toys, treats, clothes and a new blanket.

But Anthony may have been a bit too honest. He wrote Chuy hadn't been so good this year.

Hopefully, Santa will overlook that minor detail in the spirit of Christmas!
