DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS, A (CBS 11/29/09) Bruce Greenwood, Noel Fisher, Linda Emond, Ken Pogue, Carrie Ruscheinsky, Sonja Bennett, Carrie Genzel, Christopher DeLisle, Trenna Keating, Wesley MacInnes

When Todd McCary (Noel Fisher), a developmentally challenged 20 year-old, hears that the animal shelter is looking for families to foster a dog for Christmas, he's eager to sign up. But Todd's father George (Bruce Greenwood) says "no adoptions" - even temporary ones - claiming he wants to protect Todd from disappointment.

Todd's mother Mary Ann (Linda Emond) knows better. Something else is troubling George - something he doesn't want to face.

With Mary Ann's support, Todd's persistence pays off and his father agrees and takes him to the shelter to adopt a dog for the holiday. He chooses a friendly yellow lab and names him "Christmas."

Bringing Christmas home proves to be a life-changing event for the whole family, allowing Todd to show that he can care for the dog on his own, and inspiring George to love a new member of the family.

The film also stars Ken Pogue, Carrie Ruscheinsky, Sonja Bennett, Carrie Genzel, Christopher DeLisle, Trenna Keating and Wesley MacInnes.
