His father objects, but Toddโs 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 โAdopt a Dog for Christmas Program.โ What follows from his small act of kindness will teach his family, and his community, about peace on earth and good will toward menโand animals.
