While turkeys are AV SEX VIDEOS FREEinstrumental to Thanksgiving, they aren't the only animals that are important to the holiday. NBC has once again upheld its Thanksgiving Day tradition of broadcasting the National Dog Show, treating to Americans visions of furry good boys to accompany their inevitable food comas.
