I watched this movie just by chance very shortly after I lost my own German Shepherd dog (after 13 years of age), and there are some scenes in this movie that just crumbled me too pieces, merely because I related so much to Sally (Teri Polo) & Buddy. These moments between a dog and it's owner are just a little too close to home for me but still, it's a really great feel-good Christmas movie.
One would actually question if this movie could be made without being a "Christmas movie." The story is just about a dog that goes missing and is re-homed by new owners Mark (Martin Cummins) and his daughter, and the dogs owner Sally tries to get her dog back. Obviously romance blossoms along the way between Mark & Sally & you can guess the rest, but this kind of thing could happen anytime of year.
The story is very moving and some moments are very coincidental but still it flows beautifully with some great acting and touching moments. A really good Christmas movie especially if you like German Shepherds.
