After many years of research, Herman’s hypothesis that Santa existed not only for the human species, but for all creatures great and small was proven on December 24, 1989. Spending Christmas on Aunt Karen’s Farm, Herman set myriad cameras equipped with motion sensors around the house and barn. Here, Santa Paws was captured after returning from chasing Santa Claws up the old maple tree in the back yard. Subsequently he chewed the slippers Aunt Karen bought Herman for Christmas.
