My brother had a dog we would jokingly call Santa’s Little helper. That dog had nothing between the ears, if you looked into his eyes you saw nothing. Because of his complete dummyness, he was the sweetest, most lovable dog and the entire extended family was extremely fond of him.
We have several farm dogs and one of the big white guard dogs is as dumb as a stump. They’re never smart dogs, but this one is just special.
My daughter told me last week “I think she’s my favourite dog ever”. I look over at said dog who is staring vacantly into the sky, tongue hanging out.
“That dog? Really?”
“She’s so fluffy!” And she grabbed onto this huge dog and squeezed her. The dog barely moves except to half-heartedly try to lick her.
“I hope she doesn’t forget to breathe some day” she says as she pat, pat, pats the dog’s empty head, the dog staring adoringly into her eyes… I don’t usually like stupid animals but I agree that she’s absolutely charming in her stupidity. She’s like a big teddy bear and often I’ll find my daughter napping on the lawn using her as a pillow.

That’s why we loved my brother’s dog, he would let the kids dress him up, and just happily go along with whatever they wanted to do
That’s the perfect nickname
