A Dog Named Christmas

Wonderful Read

Such a beautiful story, I read it straight through, start to finish. It's about a special young man, a very special dog and the warmth and love of family and community. The message of the book is so touching, a few times I cried, I confess. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good Christmas story or just a heartwarming tale in general.

This book is a keeper!

After seeing the movie three times (!), I had to buy the book. I was not disappointed. There were things in the book that were not dealt with in the movie (due to time constraints, I am sure) and it really helped to read the book afterwards. This is one of the sweetest stories I have read in a long time. No way will I part with this book.

What a beautiful, warm-hearted book!

What a beautiful, warm-hearted book!
This is the story of a developmentally disabled young man who teaches his family and neighbors the true meaning of goodwill. When the local animal shelter begins a campaign to place all of their dogs in temporary homes for Christmas, Todd sweet talks the whole town into participating. In the process he gives everyone a gift they couldn't have imagined.
This book could have been sappy and overly sweet, but Kincaid manages it well giving the plot just enough action and gentle humor to steer clear of the danger areas. It is so well written that it reads like a true story even though it is classed as fiction. This is the feel-good book of the season, the one to read when you are overwhelmed by the demands of the holidays, the book to give your Grandma (and your brother!) for Christmas.
I listened to the audio version of this book and what a knock-out! It's read by Mark Bramhall and he has the most beautiful, deep, gravely voice. He comes across perfectly as the thoughtful, caring, funny, but slightly flawed dad. I had not listened to him before, but I will definitely be searching out other books read by him!

Very good book

This book is book is wonderful! I suggest this book to any dog lovers! This book is nice to read around this time of the season since Christmas is coming soon. After I read this book I am going to read another book by the Greg Kincaid called "Christmas with Tucker". This book talks about Tucker and "Christmas with Tucker" was writteen before " A dog named Christmas".

it sounds dellitfull.

it looks awsome i loved it.oo

Loved the book.

I thought it was a great feel good book. I would definately recommend it and will read it again. The dad in the book shows so much emotion and love toward his family, friends and animals. Love it. Read it.

Heartwarming and a must for dog lovers

I knew this book would be about dogs, but I didn't expect to be so touched by the human characters within the story also. This book would be a great Christmas gift for any dog lovers in your life.

Touching story of the difference a dog can make in people's lives.

This dog knows he is needed and searches out the people who need him. His impact on the main family and then the whole community makes for a wonderful story! The characters you meet make it a particularly good read.

Perfect Story, Very Touching

Great feel good book! I loved it! Reccomended to anyone who loves animals!

Great book, especially for dog lovers.

This is a wonderful, heart-warming story. My husband and adult daughter also read it and loved it too.

A Dog Named Christmas

This was one of thse books that was entertaining from start to finish. I loved it!!! I enjoyed it so much that I immediately went to see what else I could find of Greg Kincaid's and was disappointed that there was only one more. This is the kind of story which would make a GREAT Christmas movie. One for kids and families to watch and enjoy. It was a treat to read last Christmas.

great quick read!

Good feel good book to read on an afternoon to raise your spirits!

I trully enjoyed this book

This is such a touching story that should be added to the list of great animal/human stories, like Marley and Me. I loved every part of it, especially the ending.

Great feel good book

This book was wonderful. This story really touched my heart and made we feel good that there are other people in the world that love dogs as much as I do. Dogs are very special and it is great that this story has a happy ending. Having grown up in the city, the book made me want to have the simpler life on a farm, although I know it is anything but simple work. I think I will but a whole stack of these and give them as Christmas gifts next year.
