Santas little helper needs visible tasks

I got to be honest....this is a funny request. lol I love and support animal rights but when it comes to cartoon animals especially this one. Santa's Little Helper was a insult to his canine species. I don't even understand why they added animals to the series. I've watched the show up until season 11 and the animals never ever played any part in any episode. And I never missed an episode. The animals were a total waste of space when it comes to story and character development. For the game?....lol it'd be even more pointless. I still can't believe they gave tasks to JUB JUB which only had 1 episode in the entire series as far as I know.
