“I was truly enjoying this movie about a young boy visiting his grandfatheru0026#39;s dairy farm for Christmas. The grandson named George fell in love with his grandfatheru0026#39;s friendu0026#39;s dog and they bonded.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe boy made a trade with the grandfatheru0026#39;s drunken friend to save the dog from abuse. He did not know that the trade would be harmful to the owner. Georgeu0026#39;s grandfather made him give back the dog to this mean man because of what was traded. Earlier the dog nearly died being left out in the cold all night with no dog house and the grandfather knew this. How could the grandfather make his grandson give back the dog to this abuser??? Why didnu0026#39;t the grandfather tell the mean friend to keep his end of the deal instead of punishing the grandson and the dog? The movie was lovely and heartwarming up to this point. After that I was disheartened with the movie. The grandfather is telling his grandson to have character in life and here he is giving back a dog to be abused again and even killed. How could Hallmark not see how cruel this was? This ruined the movie for me. I gave it a 5 rating because of the excellent acting alone.”
