One of Betty's neighbours is an abrasive young man named Jack
Jones, whose property unfortunately backs onto hers, and she's
beginning to think she hates him. But as a Christian she needs to
love her neighbour. She can't do it on her own, so she
prays-once-for help.
All that seems to get her is more annoyance. Jack's unkempt dog
shows up at her door-and keeps coming back.
Between the troublesome dog and Betty's 20-something granddaughter
Avery, who turns up for a surprise visit after running away from
home, Betty and Jack discover there's a lot more to each other than
can be seen in a cursory, critical glance.
The Christmas Dog will leave you wondering what deeper value may
hide in the people in your life. And it's a good reminder to check
our own hearts for critical attitudes. Most of all, it's a
heart-warming story for the holidays. Don't be surprised if it
inspires Christmas baking.
