Hi Secret Santa,

Rugby would like to send a big, happy tail wag and a heartfelt thank you for the adorable Holiday outfits! Your thoughtful gifts have made him the most festive (and best-dressed!) pup on campus. He’s been proudly showing off each outfit, and everyone who sees him can’t help but smile.

If Rugby could type it himself, he’d say:
“Thank you, Secret Santa! I love my holiday outfits! I promise to strut through the halls with maximum Holiday cheer!”

Your generosity truly added extra magic to his holiday season—and ours. Thank you for making Rugby feel so special.

Warmest holiday wishes,
