Evidently they do not have a fenced-in backyard.

“Bring” Max instead of “Take Max”????

I AGREE THE USAGE OF BRING IS RIDICULOUS. I TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE AND BRING THE CONTAINERS BACK. I TAKE ME KIDS TO SCHOOL AND BRING THEM BACK HOME. BRING IS FROM STUPID SNOBBY PEOPLE IN NY CITY.

You DO know that writing all in caps is an indication of shouting…don’t you? lol

♪♫ “Maxie, with your tail upright, won’t you do your thing, alright?” ♪♫

I think this one is cute!

At least you didn’t put antlers on Max, that would make you pretty eccentric.

The kids will think you are performing an early investigation. Everyone recognized that reindeer in disguise.

Of course Santa would take Max for a walk because Max is great! : )

I’m sitting here, shaking my head as I read the debate over “bring” versus “take” in her dialog. Seriously?

More importantly, as to Ben’s predicament, all he has to do is tell people that this is how he gets what he leaves all the kids who are on the naughty list.
