Santa's Pet

Earlier today, I was reading an article on language deaths which discusses how languages die out. Then I come across a paragraph on how a Siberian language, Tofa, has a massive amount of words that could describe reindeers since their people mainly herd reindeers. I had always thought reindeers weren't real. I thought they were made up horsie creatures like unicorns. Now that I know they're actual animals, I think it'd be nice to have a pet reindeer. I have looked up pictures and they are adorable and soft-looking.
