Mall Santas are great when you’re a little kid, or when you have little kids of your own. But the magic doesn’t have to stop there. Teens, adults, the elderly, anyone can stop by to take a pic on Santa’s knee. Apparently, you can even bring your dog in to meet him.
The Australian-based TikTok account Eva_On_Point shared an adorable video of the owner’s dog going to meet a mall Santa for the first time. Posted in late November, the video ended up gaining over 400 thousand views. People from around the world couldn’t get enough of the adorable pup!

The dog later checks out the Christmas display and is especially fond of a reindeer statue nearby.
