Beagle Christmas Shirt Reindeer Antlers Santa Hat Christmas Lights Dog Lover

Beagle Christmas Shirt With a Dog Caught in the Lights

A string of bulbs has wound itself around this beagle from his chest down to his paws, and he sits in the middle of it with the calm of a dog who stopped expecting to be freed. Bulbs glow along his white chest and around his paws, as if the whole tree came down on him at once and he decided to wear it.

This beagle Christmas shirt is made for the dog lover whose house turns festive the second the tree goes up and the dog wanders in to supervise. Our beagle wears a fur-trimmed Santa hat with its white pom-pom resting beside one long ear, and reindeer antlers rise on either side of it, each hung with a pair of round ornaments that sway like someone short enough to reach the lower branches decorated them. The tan and white coat and the long soft ears are drawn the way beagle owners know them from the couch.

That Beagle Stare Under the Santa Hat

He looks straight out at you, a little serious, a little put upon, like he agreed to the costume for a treat and intends to collect. Anyone who shares a home with a beagle will recognize that expression. It shows up when the cookie tin opens, and it works just as well under a Santa hat. He did not ask for this. That is the whole joke, and it comes from how much holiday he is wearing while his face stays entirely his own.

For a beagle’s person, this is a Christmas dog shirt that puts the dog right in the middle of the season. It suits a grandmother whose beagle gets the first present under the tree, a couple setting up a holiday card photo with the dog in the center, or a kid who leaves cookies out for the reindeer and a bowl of treats for the real one. At a family gathering, someone will point at the antlers first and then at the bulbs, and by the time they reach his eyes they have already asked what his name is. He is an original Podluna drawing, which means he belongs to beagle people and not to any team or brand.

Where Else Does a Beagle in Christmas Lights Belong Besides the Tree?

Tree trimming night and holiday card photos both suit him, and so does any December walk when the neighborhood lights go up and the dog stops at every house.

When your own beagle finds the lowest branch on the tree, the one on the shirt will still be sitting in his lights, antlers on, unbothered.
