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.

Listening to the audiobook that it's based on! Many of the most iconic movies we watch every year during the holidays were inspired by books, some well-known and some eclipsed by the fame of their adaptations.

Good For the Whole Family

A heart-warming story for the whole family. It is more a christmastime story than a Christmas story.

Amazing how a dog can heal so much,5 Stars!

This is one of the best books I've listened to in quite some time. It truly left me with a happy heart and a few tears shed. This book is so much more than just the story of a dog, or good works. This is a story that is the journey of a man from a time where so much was left unspoken leaving wounds that don't heal. The grief is real and so heartbreaking that you see your own dad or grandad in this man. This is really a story of a heart being mended, wounds closing and an amazing soul. Sometimes the most pure souls are in the young or perpetually young at heart that the world can so often fail to see.

Absolutely wonderful

Everything about this book is perfect. The story was just what I needed for a time when the world seems to be coming apart at the seams and neighbors find way too much to criticize. Mark Bramhall is my favorite narrator and the story is, well, it’s perfect.

Wasn't too sure at first due to parts of the voice acting, but I'm glad I hung on & listened to the whole thing. I ended up really liking the story.
