‘Tis the season for warm, cozy dog movies! When I was growing up, I would always watch holiday movies with my family, and I always loved when an animal was the star of the show!
Do you love the traditional dog heroes best, like Snoopy in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” or Max in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”? Or is it the more current flurry of feel-good dog comedies that sweep you along?
I know I’ll be snuggling in with my two-legged and four-legged besties to enjoy the warmth of these feel-good dog movies and I hope you will, too.
Is one of your favourites not on the list – let me know and I’ll add it!
P.S.: Fun fact, “A Dog Named Christmas” in 2009 helped get dogs out of animal shelters into warm loving homes over the holiday season, when Hallmark, CBS and author Greg Kincaid sponsored a “Foster a Lonely Pet for the Holidays” campaign with Petfinder.com.
