Taking your doggo to meet Santa is always a fun experience. And you often get some hilarious and cute photos from it. But what if you’re a foster family and have 15 furry friends?! That makes it even better. It’s why we’re currently obsessed with this TikTok showing before-and-after clips of 15 dogs meeting with Santa. The 51-second video comes from @thegoodhype.
The video opens with all the dogs sitting in a group before meeting Santa. The caption on the screen reads, “15 puppies before and after meeting Santa.” First up is Cinnamon, who looks very content in the first image before meeting Santa. In the picture with Santa, it seems like they’re barking or howling in Santa’s face.

We’re Laughing Out Loud
Up next is Slihouette, who is licking Santa’s face in their picture together. Next is Khaleesi. Her face with Santa made us literally laugh out loud. Her mouth is hanging open, and it’s just such a goofy look on her face. Next up is Buckeye, who sits back on his rear, lifts his front legs and paws in the air, and strikes an excellent pose with Santa.
Turkey is up next! (Excellent name, by the way.) He gets on Santa’s lap and gets the award for looking the most terrifying while showing his teeth. Henry is next to go. He also gets halfway on Santa’s lap, but with a much friendlier, loving smile that is way more approachable and inviting than Turkey’s.

Cosette is next. She might have the most adorable pose on Santa’s lap, curled up in a ball, licking Santa’s face. Next up is Onyx. They take a similar pose, fully in Santa’s lap. But they are more lounging and leaning back rather than curled up and snuggling. Frank goes next. He also goes for the face licks. Next is Jack, who stays on the floor but does the classic Bernese mountain dog lean, asking Santa for some pets.
Sirius Black (another good name) goes next, staying on the ground and just letting out a big yawn. Next is Glacier, who clearly has the first “before” pose, facing away from the camera but turning his head back to look at it. Glacier goes for the “sit in front of Santa with mouth open” pose. Tiffany is up next. She also goes with the sit-in-front, tongue-out pose. Phoenix goes with sitting on the lap. Lastly, Bridget goes with the half-on Santa pose, front paws on the ground.
What makes this extra special is that every single dog is a large-breed dog, making it especially funny that they’re trying to be lap dogs.
