There is a myth that's centuries old,
To all the children it's been told,
About a reindeer with a bright red nose,
At least that's how the story goes.
On Christmas Eve, that fateful night,
The fog was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.
How could Santa see to deliver the gifts?
Boy! Oh Boy! Was he really miffed!
The answer was at the front of the sleigh,
To put a light to show the way.
Let me stop right now and here,
Was the red nose really on a reindeer?
My story is this and here's how it goes,
A Westie with a bright red nose.
Call me crazy or just insane,
"Rudy" is this reindog's name.
There are many other reindogs too,
With names familiar to all of you.
Abby & Maggie & Mac & Heather,
Westies can forge through any weather.
So on that foggy, Christmas Eve night,
T'was Rudy the Reindog with nose so bright,
Who led Santa's sleigh around the world,
To deliver the gifts to all the boys and girls!
If you're still not convinced that this could be true,
Please look at the graphic we have for you.
Rudy the Reindog wish all Westie friends dear,
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
Now playing
Rudolph, the red nose reindeer
