While nursing a broken heart, Josh Michaels is outraged when a neighbor abandons his very pregnant dog, Lucy, at JoshΓ’β¬β’s Colorado home. But Josh canΓ’β¬β’t resist LucyΓ’β¬β’s soulful brown eyes, and though heΓ’β¬β’s never had a dog before, heΓ’β¬β’s determined to do the best he can for LucyΓ’β¬βand her soon-to-arrive, bound-to-be-adorable puppies.
Soon in over his head, Josh calls the local animal shelter for help, and meets Kerri, a beautiful woman with a quick wit and a fierce love for animals. As Kerri teaches Josh how to care for LucyΓ’β¬β’s tiny puppies and gets them ready to be adopted through the shelterΓ’β¬β’s Γ’β¬ΕDogs of ChristmasΓ’β¬Β program, Josh surprises himself by falling for her.
But heΓ’β¬β’s fallen even harder for his new furry family, which has brought incredible joy into JoshΓ’β¬β’s life. He barely has time to sit down, between chasing after adventurous Sophie and brave Oliver, but when he does, his lap is quickly filled by the affectionate Lola. And Rufus and CodyΓ’β¬β’s strong bond makes Josh wonder about his own relationships with his family.
With Christmas and the adoption date looming, Josh finds himself wondering if he can separate himself from his beloved puppies. At odds with Kerri, Josh isnΓ’β¬β’t willing to lose her, but doesnΓ’β¬β’t know how to set things right. Can a surprise litter of Christmas puppies really change one manΓ’β¬β’s life?
W. Bruce Cameron\'s The Dogs of Christmas is a charming and heartwarming holiday tale that explores the power of love, trust, and a basket full of puppies.
