A Dog Named Christmas

When Todd, a developmentally challenged young man still living on his parents’ Kansas farm, hears that a local shelter is seeking temporary homes for their dogs during the holiday week, he knows exactly what he wants for Christmas. Animals are Todd’s first love, and his persistence quickly overwhelms his father’s objections to befriending a canine, a reluctance that proves to have a painful origin. The family takes in a very special animal, and the shelter’s Christmas adoption program soon grows larger than anyone had hoped. By the story’s end, Todd, with the help of a dog named Christmas, has taught an entire community the transformative power of goodwill and shared love—a lesson for all seasons.

Dog lovers and all who seek an unforgettable tale that captures the spirit of giving will fall in love with this charming story, which is sure to captivate readers year-round. Heartwarming, sweet, and beautifully designed, A DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS is a true delight.
