Actress Eloise Mumford plays army veteran Grace Garland who after being honorably discharged is driving home in the car she jus bought when she loses control of her vehicle in the new fallen snow and crashes into the "right" tree. By that I mean the first person to reach her is not a human being but an adorable boxer dog who we subsequently learn from the dog's owner Joe, is named Justice. After being a bit stunned with an open bleeding cut on her forehead from the unexpected winter car crash into the tree Justice brings Grace to the front door of his master's house Joe's beautiful and scenic property.
As Joe explains why he has named his dog justice Grace finds out that Joe is single and gainfully employed as the small town's civic judge. Grace and Joe find an immediate connection but Grace misses her own dog who she had named Christmas and whom she had worked with the past six years searching for mines while deployed in Afghanistan.
Grace gets to meet Joe's mother, and his sister's family and everything seems perfect until Grace discovers that Joe's ex-fiance is back in town and looking to re-kindle their romance. But Joe's boxer dog Justice keeps Grace grounded and she is willing to stay in town at Joe's bunk house while her car is being repaired at Joe's uncle's garage. Every time Grace talks to or plays with Justice she pines for her own service dog Christmas who she knows has a greater calling in Afghanistan after Grace was dishonourably discharged after she herself was injured while in the line of duty.
This is a nice little Christmas themed story surrounding family, new romance and of course loving and caring dogs, so hey, it's a nice Christmas themed made for TV film with a happy ending.
I give it a 6 out of 10 IMDB rating.
