Did you hear about the mall santa that turned away an autistic girl? (read: http://gftv.us/1wbaluf) We're happy to join with Metro Cyclery (https://www.facebook.com/MetroCyclery) and the Santos family as they turn the other cheek, to make a little girl's Christmas. Nominate a little girl in San Diego or Orange County to take home this bike!

Paw it forward - Christmas Edition!

Giftovus has reached out to my dog house on behalf of Metro Cyclery of San Diego. They have asked that we help them give away a really cool bike to a well deserving family with a child who is 3-6 years old!

Will you all help me?

Nominate a little one in the comments below that you feel could use some Christmas Magic!

The comment with the most likes by Wednesday December 17th @ 5:00 p.m. My crate time (PST) will be able to pick up the bike (In the San Diego Area) on Saturday December 20th.

Happy Woof-I-Days!
