Christmas Puppy

Christmas Puppy is a heartwarming family movie that premiered on the Hallmark channel in 2012. It is a story about two families whose lives intersect just a few days before Christmas, bringing them closer together.

The movie opens with two best friends, Todd (Matthew Pohlkamp) and Laura (Cindy Busby), who have been in love with each other since childhood but have never been able to confess their feelings. Laura's family runs a dog shelter, and she fondly takes care of a cute little puppy named Princess. Meanwhile, Todd's family has just moved into a new neighborhood and he is trying to adjust to his new surroundings.

As Christmas approaches, Laura's family is busy with their shelter, and Todd's family is dealing with some family issues. Todd's father is struggling to make ends meet, and the strain is starting to take a toll on the family. But everything changes when Todd and Laura cross paths and discover that they both share a love for animals. Laura introduces Todd to Princess, and they bond over their shared interests.

However, there is a problem: Princess is scheduled to be adopted by a rich family on Christmas Eve. Laura is heartbroken and doesn't want to let her go, but Todd comes up with a plan to convince the family to give Princess to Laura's family instead.

Meanwhile, Maureen McCormick aka Marcia Brady, who plays the role of Denise, a busy executive who is feeling lonely during the holidays, comes into the picture. Denise's life intersects with Todd and Laura's when she decides to adopt a dog for companionship. However, things take a surprising turn when she meets Todd's mother, Sarah (Alexandra Paul), who is also looking for a job. Denise offers Sarah a job as her personal assistant, and Sarah accepts, bringing the two families even closer.

Throughout the movie, we see Todd and Laura's relationship develop, as they work together to keep Princess safe and find her a good home. They also help each other deal with their respective family problems and support each other's dreams. Meanwhile, Denise and Sarah's relationship also blossoms, as they learn from each other and become close friends.

Janet Carroll plays the role of Mrs. Little, a wealthy and kind-hearted woman who owns a mansion and a large estate. She takes an interest in Princess and decides to help Todd and Laura's cause by inviting them to her Christmas party. At the party, they meet Denise, Sarah, and other guests, and make a pitch to Mrs. Little to let them keep Princess. Mrs. Little is skeptical at first but eventually agrees to their proposal, making everyone's Christmas wishes come true.

The movie ends on a high note, with Todd and Laura confessing their love for each other, Sarah getting a new job, Denise finding companionship, and Princess finding a new home where she can be loved and cared for by Laura's family.

Overall, Christmas Puppy is an uplifting and heartwarming movie that celebrates the spirit of Christmas, family, and love. It is a must-watch for anyone who loves dogs and enjoys feel-good movies that leave you with a smile on your face.
