Featured review
Grandfather allowed owner to commit more dog abuse
I was truly enjoying this movie about a young boy visiting his grandfather's dairy farm for Christmas. The grandson named George fell in love with his grandfather's friend's dog and they bonded.
The boy made a trade with the grandfather's drunken friend to save the dog from abuse. He did not know that the trade would be harmful to the owner. George'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 didn'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.
