A Dog Named Christmas
by Greg Kincaid
Blackstone Audiobooks
 
Being a big dog lover, I picked this audio up as there was a dog on the cover. What a great story--I laughed, I cried and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is the story of a family with a developmentally disabled son named Todd. Todd hears a story about a shelter seeking temporary homes for pets at Christmas. You can follow the story through to see who gets the real Christmas lesson and the true meaning of goodwill. A great story about what is important in life.
