Publisher's summary

Todd, the youngest of four children, has a developmental disability that keeps him at home on the farm with his mother and father. One special holiday season, Todd hears an ad on the radio from a shelter looking for temporary homes for their dogs during the holiday week. When Todd's parents at last give in to his pleas for this charitable cause, the family is faced with an entire shelter full of dogs needing homes.

Using his special charms and gifts of persuasion, Todd encourages his whole community to help in the "adopt a dog for Christmas program" and, more importantly, teaches his family the true meaning of goodwill.

Heartwarming

This book will touch your heart. It will make you laugh and cry and sometimes both at the same time. I listened to this for the first time last Christmas and just finished it again this year. I plan to make it a Christmas tradition.

Christmas Dog

I saw this movie a number of years ago I believe in the Hallmark Channel. I thought it was very sweet and had that homey feel. not overly romantic like so many of their movies are... but I digress.
when I saw this I wanted to see how closely the movie followed the book. not to bad but the book is much better.. (they usually are).
I might have to make this an every Christmas holiday read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Endearing story

Remarkable Story

I love this emotional Christmas story! Sometimes the lessons we try to teach others we need ourselves more. The love between the characters and the animals is so strong. Definitely worth reading this holiday season. The narrator does a fantastic job.

What Christmas and family are all about...

I loved this book so much I went out and bought copies of it for my family! The story was heartwarming, funny and sad in places; well worth the three and half hours of listening time required.

Loved it!

Such a heartwarming story with plenty of giggles. I didn't expect to get as sucked in as I did. Usually I am a mystery thriller horror story kind of reader but this was great. He is accurate on animal shelter operations and I love the message provided! A must for dog lovers!
