In the original film ‘The Snowman and The Snowdog’ the Snowdog magically comes to life! After exploring lives of Billy and Kate from our magical Christmas film this year, we wondered how Billy’s dog might experience the season. From how he spends Christmas Day and what he’s getting for Christmas, to how he and Billy first met, here’s how we believe Billy’s dog will be spending the festive season.
Billy’s dog’s favourite toys...
Just like most furry companions, Billy’s dog has been spoilt with lots of toys over the years. Rubber ones, fluffy ones, and ones that jingle and jangle. Most of them are pretty chewed up, but there’s one we think he loves the most – and that’s his snowman teddy. He loves this teddy so much, and out of them all, he’ll always take the best care of him.
On Christmas Day, Billy’s dog probably gets an extra special dinner, especially as we know just how much his family loves Christmas. Billy and Kate will start preparing the lunch just after everyone wakes up and by the afternoon, the smells coming out of the kitchen are almost overwhelming! Just as his belly starts rumbling, the big feast is served.
Unlike any other day of the year, Billy’s dog is allowed three courses on Christmas Day, just like the rest of his family. Of course, there’s always a few things he sees them eating that he never gets, but he doesn’t mind. Kate puts his dinner in special bowls with a ribbon around each one and we imagine he always plays around with the ribbons after eating his food.
But it gets even better. After dinner, it’s time for his bone. Kate comes into the lounge when he’s laid on the rug, all full and content, with something behind her back. But he knows exactly what it is. Then, while everyone is busy playing boards games, he sits chewing on his big tasty bone. He always buries the bone outside, just in case his friend The Snowman turns up one day – and this year, his dreams came true when he finally did.
A gift he’ll always remember...
We think he is one very lucky dog, he gets so many presents. Sometimes, we think even more than Billy! We wonder if he finds Kate’s secret stash of Christmas chew toys, tennis balls and teddies every year, but she hasn’t found out yet. To top it off, Billy and Kate’s parents always arrive on Christmas Day carrying big bags full of gifts with his name on them.
This year, we know Billy is giving his dog a very special gift, one that he thinks his dog will treasure forever – his very own
Barbour Wax Dog Jacket. Billy and Kate noticed their dog feeling the cold a lot more now than he did when he was younger. They know the jacket will keep him so lovely and warm when they go for long winter walks in the country. He will be able to have fun in the snow like he used to – something he’s always loved. But we guess he’ll have to wait and see on Christmas Day.
