Dog Named Christmas
Dog Named Christmas | Greg Kincaid
11 posts | 19 read | 7 to read
In this heartwarming novel, author Greg Kincaid tells the tender story of how one very special dog changed the lives of his adoptive family and an entire town forever. Todd, they always want you to adopt a dog. That s what they do. Besides, we don t need another animal around here, and most definitely not a dog. When Todd McCray, a developmentally challenged young man still living on his parents Kansas farm, hears that a local animal shelter is seeking temporary homes for its dogs during the days leading to Christmas, he knows exactly what he wants for the holidays. His father objects, but Todd s persistence quickly wins out. Soon the McCrays are the short-term foster family for a lovable pooch the young man names Christmas. But what about all the other dogs who will be forced to spend the Yuletide season in cages? In the days that follow, Todd uses his special gifts of persuasion to encourage his hometown to participate in the Adopt a Dog for Christmas Program. What follows from his small act of kindness will teach his family, and his community, about peace on earth and good will toward men and animals."

Such a touching story. I remember watching the movie years ago, but I never got around to reading the book until just now. I loved the story, it was really cute.

This was such a sweet, heartwarming book! Focusing mainly on a father and his mentally handicapped son, and the dog they foster over Christmas. Would definitely recommend this one to all dog lovers! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a cute story about the healing power of animals. A local animal shelter puts the call out to clear the shelter for the holidays. You can foster a dog over the holiday then return it after Christmas. Of course they are hoping for foster fails and the McCray family know this. But they can't say no to their mentality challenged young adult Todd who still lives with them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A short listen, brilliantly narrated by one of my favorite narrators: Mark Bramhall. This is about a family that reaches out to friends and neighbors to find homes for all of the local shelter dogs over the Christmas holiday. Definitely a feel-good story and I love the way the narrator reluctantly fell in love with the dog named Christmas.
