A true story about a stray dog who finds a family (and gets a name) just in time for Christmas.

It's two weeks before Christmas, and a stray dog searches for shelter in the snow. Thankfully, the door of one house is slightly open, welcoming her inside. But what will happen after she walks in? Will the humans send her back out into the cold? Or will they let her stay?

Most importantly, will she find what she's truly looking for, a forever home? With timeless themes of love and belonging, A Stray Dog for Christmas tells the true story of podcaster Jack Jokinen and the stray dog his family adopted and named Suzy.

This sweet story is perfect for both children and adults, reminding readers of the joys of family and that Christmas miracles are still possible.

Back matter on dog adoption included.
