A Dog Named Christmas is the heartwarming story of how one very special dog changed the lives of his adoptive family and an entire town. A mentally challenged boy named Todd temporarily adopts a dog during the days leading to Christmas and names him Christmas. He then works to persuade others in the town to adopt dogs also. What follows in A Dog Named Christmas from his act of kindness will teach his family and community about peace on earth and good will toward men - and animals. This would be a nice chapter book to read to children during the holidays or could be given to a child who can read on his or her own. A Dog Named Christmas reminds us of the love that this season is all about.
