And if youre not a dog lover, well, Im not quite sure what to say! I must be clear I am wholeheartedly pro-dog and pro-Christmas.

Expect large, playful dogs to frolic through every page, as the mercury hovers near zero, and the earth remains a crusty brown until the very last moment, when hope begins to glimmer. At the heart of this story lies youthful exuberance! Of course, for the sake of propriety and historical authenticity, there are parents and a few older characters, but they will gracefully exit the scene as soon as I can manage.
