SANTA is said to only visit good boys and girls, so dogs will never have to worry about whether they’re on the naughty list.
And pooches are invited to have a chinwag with the man himself when he drops into a Hurst charity.
DBARC (Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre) in Nelson Road is opening its doors to dog owners wanting to meet Santa. He will be in residence between 11am and 3pm on Sunday, December 10.
There will be festive treats, mulled wine, mince pies and other seasonal refreshments on offer, and its pet accessory store, Barkwrights, will be open.
