Storyline

It's "Christmas time" at the Baker household, and Bailey is at it again. Worried that he will not get any presents from Santa because he's been a bad doggie, Bailey learns about a mysterious Native American Indian called the "Handsome Fellow," who may be able to make his Christmas wishes come true. With thoughts of tennis balls, stuffed animals and more dog bones then he can count, he sets out to find this legend, inadvertently dragging his brother along for the ride. But when Bailey's misguided missteps cause harm to Duke and even threaten their family's Christmas plans, Bailey must not only find a way to save his brother, but he is also forced to make a big decision... one that just might enable him to finally understand the "true" meaning of Christmas.

A little gem

After watching a bunch of holiday movies with my kids, I was so pleasantly surprised to come across this one. It is such a unique little Christmas movie with such a good meaning. It has a heartfelt and spiritual message, which I loved, but it really wasn't heavy handed. My kids had fun watching it - they never got bored. And that was great. In fact, they got so wrapped up in the story, and I have to admit, I did, too. The dogs were so cute and did such a good job. The characters were funny, the acting was good, it looked great, and it really did move along well. It wasn't a big budget movie, but it was still well done. Sweet story. Beautifully shot. Very endearing little film. And it will definitely put you in a good mood!
