On behalf of America's Top Dog Model ® , Romeo and I welcome you to our community and thank you for signing up to receive our monthly Paw Prints. It is  hard to believe the holidays are here! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanzaa, it's a perfect time to focus on loved ones and to believe in the magic of the season!
 
But it would only be fair to say, it's that time of the year when people enjoy gifts! I firmly believe the biggest gift you can receive is to give. So, Romeo and I have come up with a cool, gift guide. Ch eck out "Romeo's Favorite Things" for paw-some, gifts that will make spirits bright through the upcoming new year! 
 
Let's keep in mind that not all gifts can be bought. Some of the best gifts...the ones that make life richer and brighter...cost next to nothing. For example, volunteer at a local animal shelter; drop off baked goods at a local food shelter; offer to walk a neighbor's dog; help a busy friend with errands; or write a note of gratitude to someone who has made a difference in your life.

This week we conducted a cover dog casting call at America's Top Dog Model Facebook Fan Club. The casting called for dog models photographed in a holiday or winter scene, and they were asked to share their New Year's resolutions. Meet Aria, our beautiful cover dog and three fabulous featured models Addi Elyses, Rhett Gable, and Chloe. Thank you to all of our lovely, contestants. We appreciate your participation.  
 
Finally, I am excited to announce de'tails about America's Top Dog Model 2020 contest! Can you believe we will be launching our sixteenth contest on January 27, 2020? Many of you have been part of America's Top Dog Model ® Contest since the beginning. Thank you for your continued support and for being part of America's Top Dog Model ® family.  
 
The theme for America's Top Dog Model ® 2020 Contest is "Fairy Tails" See contest details in this issue!
  
May the good times and treasures of the present become wonderful memories of tomorrow. Wishing you lots of love, joy and happiness and may your New Year be merry and bright!
