A slight paraphrase from "Wolfhound Pup for Christmas" by William J. Dammarell. This is my Holly. Since I got my first Irish Wolfhound in 1997 I have never been without one ... or more. I am truly privileged to share my life with these amazing creatures and I can't begin to imagine life without them. I am definitely addicted.
