A beloved family dog has made the most of Christmas Day.
With his humans (Peter and Sarah) hosting an extended Christmas lunch, Zoey the six-year-old labrador cashed in.
Zoey made sure to carefully sniff every new arrival and work out who were the best people to get attention and food from. She also got presents from her humans – a packet of her favourite treats and a new bone chew toy.
While Zoey didn’t get much food during Christmas lunch, she focused on being a good girl and was rewarded with a nice plate of leftover roast pork, roast potatoes, and some peas.
She then worked off the big meal by chasing the tennis ball around during a long game of backyard cricket.
Exhausted by all that activity, Zoey spent the afternoon in a deep snooze, before waking up about 5pm to farewell the last of the guests.
“Christmas is the best day ever!” said Zoey (yes, Everyday News staff writers can understand dogs – just go with it!). “I got so much food and attention. The introverted humans love me the most as petting me gives them an excuse not to talk to other humans.”
Later that night, Zoey’s ears pricked up when she heard Peter and Sarah discussing another house party for New Year’s Eve.
“I can’t wait!” said Zoey.
