UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Ensures Holiday Reindeer Ready to Fly

Lighthearted holiday video shows some unexpected members of the reindeer herd

This year, the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine hosted Buddy the Elf—or at least the Fair Use tribute version of him. Buddy brought the reindeer in for health checks before their big night, visiting the various areas of the school and meeting with Dean Mark Stetter along the way.

Among the herd were some unexpected members, including reindeer that looked suspiciously like cows, horses and dogs. In addition, Buddy was joined by a band of elves, who also might look familiar to people connected to the school and its students, staff and faculty.

This is the first year that UC Davis has conducted “reindeer” checks, but as a leading veterinary school in the United States, Buddy made an excellent choice for care of the herd. Have a great holiday season, Buddy!
