Merry Christmas to all

That's my dog Layla visiting Santa Claus last year. Layla is one of the heroes behind the scenes here at SUVs.About.com. Every review I write, every photo I post, she's laying here on the couch across from my desk, supporting my every action. She's happy to jump up into the back of any SUV, large or small, to test out its cargo capacity. She has trained herself to stay behind the last row of seats, and never to jump on the upholstery. She's a great passenger, and always glad to go for a ride.

My wish for all of you this holiday is that you have a happy companion like Layla for your journey through life, especially if your journey is in an SUV.
