The River Region’s most notable pit bull Louis Vuitton served as Santa’s Helper along with members of three motorcycle groups from the region Saturday afternoon.

Louis Vuitton, who made national news after he was set on fire and brutally beaten by his former owner in 2007, was dubbed a “monster elf” to represent the national “I’m Not a Monster” initiative to collect treats, blankets and other donations for the Elmore County Humane Shelter.
