Almost immediately after we got an ornament with his name on it, our 3-year-old beagle mix Duncan, whom we rescued as a 3-month-old puppy, sat down by the tree right in front of where we hung it, offering us a fantastic photo opportunity. But his favorite thing about the holidays is a nice walk in the snow! Ryan and Melissa Bebej, Ann Arbor.
