McGruff Helps Guide Santa's Sleigh
California greyhound is named after McGruff.
McGruff the Crime Dog® has done so much for us over the years. A teacher and mentor, a friend and protector, he is always helping out. Now some active community members in Laguna Beach, CA, have named their own canine after our beloved mascot. And this dog is helping out too. According to the Orange County Register, “McGruff” helped guide Santa’s sleigh this past holiday season as he traveled atop a fire engine, greeting members of the community along the way.
Rose Hancock, executive director of the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce, said in the Register article that, “Santa Claus rode into town aboard a fire engine to light the pepper tree at City Hall… guided by ‘psuedo-reindeer’ Sparka and McGruff — greyhounds with antlers.”
