🐕🎄🏡The MORAL of ALL this: A dog doesn't need an ornate little house with lights outside in the cold... A dog is FAMILY and deserves to be clean, warm and confortable in our company! BRAVO FOR THE LESSON!🎅🎼🎵🎶
AMEN I Totally AGREE 🦮 🐕🦺 Thank God this Precious dog was placed into a warm, well protected, well provided for, plenty of Love - food - a warm bed & people to Love Him ❤❤❤ 🐾🐾🐾 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope so.! But it is only an imagine. WE are having christmas, whilste children in Sudan are dying from Hunger and children in India are sleeping under bridges. Merry Christmas.
Please be kind to your pets & give them unconditional love, a warm bed to sleep & of course a nice warm fuzzy blanket because all they want is your attention & your love, as they are only here for a very short time with you. Merry Christmas to all!! This video made me cry as I miss my dogs so very much much!
Merry Christmas to you too 🎄👍 & absolutely true ❤👍as I do make the most of my time, with my fur babies ❤❤❤❤ & So Truly Sorry For Your Loss of your pets ❤❤❤❤
We’re incapable of unconditional love. That why God created dogs...To show us what it was all about. Not that we pay any attention... We should, however.🐾
@@lbccarpediem If we all took lessons from our dogs, people, & the world wouldn’t have hardly any of the problems that exist. That’s why they’ll have a place in God’s great heaven. That, & Jesus didn’t have to die for them. Just us wayward sinners. I’m looking so forward to His Perfection forever. With all my dogs & rescues. ❤🐾 Coming sooner than most think... Be Blessed by His Word & Truth in your heart in the New Year.🕊
This brought a tear to my eye. I have never understood why anyone would have a pet and leave it outdoors at all. They are a part of the family till the day they die. Keep them inside warm, cool and comfortable. They deserve that and so much more.
I miss my boy, passed Jan.12th this year (24) and I still cry for him. My ninth dog in my life and as it turns out my most cherished one. I adopted him at 5 years of age because no one wanted him they found him in swamps of western Louisiana and I took him to a lake in northern Wisconsin where he lived out his years as happy as I could make him. I said he would be my last because I didn’t want to get another at my age then pass away and the dog would think I abandoned it.. People don’t get that, if your older adopt an older dog and give them the life they deserve
Same here ... only with my cat. I've had them since I was 11, but when my sweet boy (Tuxedo Cat) Sox passed in 2009 at 18.5 yrs old, I said I was done, because my health had started to decline. But a year later, my daughter left for college and didn't want me to be alone, so she bought me a 2 yr old kitty from the Shelter. Things were pretty good until she developed Thyroid Disease AND was allergic to all the medicines! My crippled body was having a rough time feeding her those last few months, but I pushed myself, because I loved her so. She passed in July 2023. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved pooch, you did the right thing.....God bless you!!!
My mom, 83, thought the same thing when her last dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but after a month with no dog by her side she knew she has to have a dog. So she talked to my brother, who has 2 dogs of his own and they went to the shelter together to pick out a dog for mom. They made sure my brother's dogs will get along with mom's new fur kid and they do play dates together. If something happens to mom, my brother will have a third dog. My mom needed a dog, and she's made a loving, responsible decision for his care once she's gone. ❤
@@jinka6171 Been there done that myself 💞 I can't stand to see a dog shivering in the cold or wilted from the heat. Have been asked to leave a few properties and been threatened with trespassing a few times. But 2 of the owners called me and offered me their dogs, so it was worth it. Good for you 💞💞
I have taken many feral cats in off the streets. 4 of them have been on my birthday through the years. I still have 3. If you are rescuing them a holiday can be a perfect time as long as you make it a life commitment and love them with all your ❤.
That's exactly right no better words have been said thank you . There is no stronger love than that of a dog I'm 69 years old my dog axle is 12 years old as soon as I get home he's always there to greet me and it feels so good. I just with God would help them live longer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bawling my eyes out…thankful so much for my adopted child as well as my adopted pets….and for the magic of Christmas. If you can do anything to help another innocent human or animal, please do. Blessings to all. PS-Thanks Santa 🎅
Take this with a grain of salt folks. While there are many many animals out there who need homes, don't adopt for the whole sake of "pets are presents". Too many of these end up back in shelters ( or on the street) after the recipient got tired of them. Adopt with the aim of adding to your family, for keeps. Thanks.
Good points! If it helps with the narrative, in the version in my head, Santa knew the kid's parents were okay with adopting a dog, and knew what THEY were doing here! After all, Santa has that special magic, right?
Absolutely. They're not presents: only gift a pet, if it's a precise request from the resonsible adult who's going to take care of it, at whatever the cost.
Every dog deserves a loving home, a cosy warm bed indoors with it's human family. If you aren't prepared to have them in your home and care for them..... simply don't have one.
I think I saw this video last year. I cried then and I cried now. Wonderful video. No dog should have to suffer in this manner. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas 🌲🎁!
I gave my 2 year old daughter a golden retriever puppy for Christmas and we called her Cinnamin. They grew up together and Cinny never left her side. I have never known such a sweet. loving and kind animal. She was my daughter's best friend and taught my daughter many things. Everyone loved Cinny. Thank you for this lovely movie. It brought back so many happy memories. I will share this with my now 42 year old daughter. We have never forgotten our sweet Cinny.
So many dogs need that kind of love, and that kind hope for a new home… I hope Santa gives them the gift of a new home… and as I look at my two sleeping sleeping, warm and safe under the Christmas tree I’m thankful that I was able to give them home. They were both rescues and they are well deserving…. As is my cat also a rescue.
My golden retriever Gracie passed in 2010. I still cry over her. My papillon Juno passed 12-22-21. I still cry over her. They were both 11. I still have another papillon named Thor who turns 12 in March of 2023. My prayer is that my boy will live to be 14 or 15😊. God made dogs to keep us kind. I adore them.
Mine passed in 2010 too.. he was so connected to me! His name was Dusty! Now my Black German Shepherd Dog Harley is 10.. she is my shadow. Dog spelled backwards is God ❤ thank you God for giving us such an amazing friendship.
Goldens are the most beautiful, loving animals on the planet. I know, I know…..we all have our favorites. I’ve had many animals of ALL types over my lifetime, but my Golden was the sweetest, kindest, gentlest dog I have ever owned. He had the most beautiful soul. When I got him from a breeder, he was actually for my son….who was I think12 at the time. There were about half a dozen puppies in the room and my son said to me, Mom….how do I choose? I said ….just sit down and play with them. Your puppy will choose you. After a half hour or so, one crawled up into his lap and instantly fell asleep. He said, I think I just got chosen! It was a beautiful relationship for the whole family.
Tears are streaming down my face watching this. Every animal deserves so much more than they usually get. My 17 yr old cat, Jackson, passed away 2 years ago. I miss him every day. After watching this, maybe it's time to adopt and give all the love and care I gave to Jackson to another in need. ❤
Santa Klaus is a myth for toddlers. He doesn't offer gifts to anyone. But you, reader, are a creature with life who has the power to replace an unhappy situation, like that of this adorable doggie, with a state of well-being and happiness. This is immense power but also a significant responsibility. If you have the time, energy, patience, space, financial stability, and a heart that loves unconditionally, consider sharing your roof and daily life with an abandoned and/or mistreated animal. Adopt, don't shop! Thank you, Mister Jeffrey Pratt, for showing us through your work that we can be authentic superheroes. My kindest wishes and all the love my heart and mind are filled with are dedicated to the animals and pets of the whole world.
My 14 yr. old dog passed peacefully the day before Thanksgiving. Cried so hard one day, texted my son looking for consolation. Two large bags of bird seed were delivered from Walmart at 7:30 p.m. in the pitch dark of winter. Already have suet outside, but now I can watch the birds and squirrels go at it including cardinals which are lucky for our family. Donated all pet goods to our animal shelter. Thank you for the bird seed Secret Santa. And thank you Santa. Warmed my heart via your furry friend Buddy!
@@beverlyw.8196 My brothers Golden, Sarge helped me through a painful divorce years ago. Our walks were so positive. I have been deep cleaning to keep busy creating a new environment. Gotta keep it clean. My furnace filters are $55. ea. if you buy bulk (4 min.). They were $33 a few years ago. Be good to yourself as you heal.
@@beverlyw.8196 Just think your Precious Gracie has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge ☁ 🌈 🕊 🧔♀ ✝ along with so many other Precious pups that have gone before us 🦮🦮🦮 🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 🐕🐕 You'll NEVER be forgotten & ALWAYS LOVED & REMEMBERED ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏
This just broke my heart. First off, my two Goldens passed a couple of years ago, one at age 15, and the other at 16. It took me a long time to be able to see a Golden without crying. But, second: as cute as this video is, 1) you don't leave a dog outside to the elements, and 2) you don't give a living being as a Christmas gift (or Easter, or Valentine's ...). Adding a new member of the family in a deliberate manner. Christmas is most often a hectic time of year, when it's difficult to provide an animal the type of atmosphere where it can quietly get used to all of this - well - NEW! So, for me it's kinda a two thumbs down sorta reaction. But that dog .....! Made me realize that I need another Golden. Happy holidays everyone!
😭😭😭😭 I join everyone in prayer for every animal and human being to be loved and protected, blessed and cared for this season. Can’t stop crying you’re film touched me so deeply. Beautifully done with such heart Bless you ♥️🙏🏻❣️
I recently adopted 2 fur babies..... Harley and Bailey.......i love them soo much...... couldn't stand the thought of them being alone and cold and hungry......all dogs deserve a good home and a loving person to take care of them♥️♥️♥️♥️
I almost didnt watch this video because I knew I would cry....and I did. I'm glad I did though, this is so precious. I lost my poodle 6 months ago. She brought me many years of joy. Thank God for the animals! And thank you for the video.😊
Mi perrita adoptada Leia es mi gran amiga, cada vez quiero más a os animales. Me da mucha tristeza el poco cariño que da mucha gente a sus perros. Esta historia es preciosa, gracias.
Oh no this made me cry! My wee dog is lying beside me on the bed legs in the air☺. She's a wee rescue only had 3 months and she's loved so much. Wish I could take more. Be good to your pets, they are family❤
Absolutely beautiful! Heartwarming and such a peaceful touching message through Buddy and his friend as a reminder of just how much they too deserve a warm place to belong🎄💝
30 yrs ago when I had a dozen Saints we had them dressed up as deer, hey could not cut 4 out, my sleigh and my bro in his elf costume and me as santa no padding. on a flatbed and a buddy of mine with his tractor took us to the childrens hospitals and nursing homes and boy i can still feel the warmth happiness and lots of tears of joy. Never forget Christmas is every day. Just one small kindness to another human down on their luck, makes all the difference and dont forget the homeless animals and shelter animals they need a nice helping of LOVE. God Bless you all and Keep HIS spirit alive and well every day Pax+
Not only is this a heart warming video about a dog and the wonderful Santa who gave it a beautiful christmas. It is also, for me, sooo wonderful to read the heartfelt comments that people wrote. Tears of joy filled my eyes. Thank you, Jeff Pratt , Merry Christmas to you , and all the people who contributed to this meaningful video.
How precious!! This adorable pup reminds me so much of our own red Golden, Hoover, right down to way he sits upright and reaches out to Santa with his precious paws. Well done, and thank you so much!
IF ONLY. If only the shelters were empty, and no creature was left behind. If only they knew compassion...love from human kind. If only a sweet precious life, knew love beyond compare. If only...if only...if only...someone was there. ❤
Vielen Dank für diesen zauberhaften und gleichzeitig sehr nachdenklichen Kurzfilmen ! Hunde sind großartige und treue Begleiter des Menschen ! Sie werden oft nicht mit dem notwendigen Respekt behandelt ! Traurig!!!
Many people think & assume that dogs don't feel-they DO, they are less than-they are NOT, they don't have wants & desires but they ALL DO 🦮🦮🦮 people need to OWN & ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY for their own lives, actions & choices !!!! Choices have Consequences 👮👮👮 What comes around-goes around !!!! God have Mercy on them all !!!!!!!
I cried ALL the way through 😭😭😭!! Animal's love us unconditionally and all they want in return is to feel that same kind of love. So many unwanted unloved animals out there that it breaks my heart 💔😭! I wish I could take every one of them in they deserve a loving forever home!
I'd see those bumper stickers saying 'puppies aren't just for Christmas'. For decades I never 'got' the meaning because I was on the road working and didn't have pets. Then one day WHAM! it hit me deep into my heart and soul. My sister and I had to raise ourselves due to having a mom so mentally ill she couldn't function. So I got it BIG TIME... if you can't handle loving a pet from infancy to death best to leave to a loving somebody who can AND will. No animal should just 'be for Christmas'. No cats, dogs, rabbits, Guineas, fish, tarantulas etc My niece wanted a cat really bad. Her mom was a dog person...Jamie came over to Aunties house one day (as a little girl) and announced w a big, gleeful smile "My mom says I can have a cat as long as it lives over here with you. ( directly across the street) Pleeeaasseee" My sister has the guile of an attorney!!! Okay--- so Lo and Behold Aunt Lynn became a cat owner at age 36. At age 55 I slowly morphed into becoming a Crazy Cat Lady. Do not 'throw away' God's innocents thru neglect and abuse!
Thank you ,this gave me comfort😊 our beautiful dog died this Christmas season. Reminded me of how blessed we were to have him .I didn't fully understand what he did for my daughter until we lost him. This film helped me to see the importance of a pet and a child ! They are both so vulnerable and need each other 💞
So heart warming. I am a big believer if you own a pet it belongs in the house with the family. Not stuck out in the elements in a dog house. Our furry little friends need and want interaction with their owners. I do believe.
I like that they had an older dog and not a puppy. So many people want a puppy until they find out how much work it is or until it's no longer a puppy and then they dump it.
Beautiful....I just lost my loved Corgi Nook on 30 November 2022....She crossed the stars and waits for me at The Rainbow Bridge...someday we will meet again on some sunny day...Until then...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...May the Lord's Blessing of Peace, Joy and Happiness be with you and your Family and Pets, May his Grace and Glory Surround you and your Family and pets throughout the Coming New Year..
Sadly, this will be just a dream for many dogs, where they wake to the reality that they live in. But most of all, they dream embrace, the warmth of love, the familiar face. For Christmas magic, they understand, is found in the touch of a human hand.
May GOD Bless, Provide, Protect, DELIVER every animal in an abusive circumstance, Be Healed, Restored and the abusive people all be brought to justice 👮👮 What a shame that more prisons are needed & its the tax payer that pays along with God's Precious animals ✝ 🛐 🛐 ❤❤❤ We CRY OUT O' GOD ✝ 🛐🛐 🛡🛡🛡🛡 🧔♀🧔♀🧔♀
I have watched so many adds about Christmas, and the short film about given the dog a new !I've with a family made me cry for the first time. At this time of the year for a long time,so season greetings to every one
Very inspiring indeed. Never considered making a short film until I saw this one and the impact it can have. As a retired film director do you teach lessons online?
I would sleep outside before I let either of my Golden’s be cold & lonely. A dog is a family member with feelings and a soul. They understand hurt and the know love!
I cried when I saw this video! I just wanted to hug that dog. I loved this video, it's going in my likes, so I can watch it every Christmas (& throughout the year!)
You need to come to the US and decorate the tree in Rockefeller Center in New York! You have such a flare! Absolutely beautiful tree! Thank you for sharing with us. You are just part of the family.
This had me in tears. Our sweet 16 year old furbaby died 3 weeks ago and my heart is shattered. Seeing that poor dog outside, alone in the snow just broke me.
If it's to cold for you, it is sure as heck to cold for them. I have several dogs, and I never once leave any of them outside, period. My dogs are my family and I love them more than any human.
🐕🎄🏡The MORAL of ALL this:
A dog doesn't need an ornate little house with lights outside in the cold...
A dog is FAMILY and deserves to be clean, warm and confortable in our company!
BRAVO FOR THE LESSON!🎅🎼🎵🎶
You’re a hundred percent right ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊

I'm watching this for the second time four years later, and it's like the first time. This is a magnificent video.
They live short lives but the impact they leave behind last a lifetime
Let us love them the way they love us …unconditionally. Their love and loyalty is amazing, they are truly a gift.
We’re incapable of unconditional love.

Absolutely agree with U. Even in my country and we do not have winter season, when it rain, I still check my cats and dog, are they save in house
Some people just don’t deserve pets
It's cruel anyone that does that should be reported, and DON'T deserve a dog
@johns4384. My goodness “ a tear?.” I’m crying my heart out. But nowadays I cry at almost everything
I got the saddest rescue case, brought him back to health over time. Best dog ever.
I miss my boy, passed Jan.12th this year (24) and I still cry for him. My ninth dog in my life and as it turns out my most cherished one. I adopted him at 5 years of age because no one wanted him they found him in swamps of western Louisiana and I took him to a lake in northern Wisconsin where he lived out his years as happy as I could make him. I said he would be my last because I didn’t want to get another at my age then pass away and the dog would think I abandoned it.. People don’t get that, if your older adopt an older dog and give them the life they deserve
Same here ... only with my cat. I've had them since I was 11, but when my sweet boy (Tuxedo Cat) Sox passed in 2009 at 18.5 yrs old, I said I was done, because my health had started to decline.

Didn't the dog belong to someone else at the beginning? He had a hut and all those lights. Maybe they abandoned him.
Crying as well ❤

As it is a pet's unconditional love! Only human feelings seem to last for a short time!
That's exactly right no better words have been said thank you . There is no stronger love than that of a dog
I'm 69 years old my dog axle is 12 years old as soon as I get home he's always there to greet me and it feels so good. I just with God would help them live longer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bawling my eyes out…thankful so much for my adopted child as well as my adopted pets….and for the magic of Christmas. If you can do anything to help another innocent human or animal, please do. Blessings to all. PS-Thanks Santa 🎅
Same here. And a man is allowed to shed tears.
Me too, can’t hardly type through the tears
30 seconds into the movie and I'm already crying. No dog should be kept away from it's family, ever!
Ditto!! Bawling like a baby and I’m on :52. 🥹🙏🏼🐾

Absolutely.
They're not presents: only gift a pet, if it's a precise request from the resonsible adult who's going to take care of it, at whatever the cost.
Exactly right. But I like to see this as the family and home being the dog's Xmas present, not the other way around. 🙂
I was crying before Santa showed up. Not a word spoken but the message was clear.
Every dog deserves a loving home, a cosy warm bed indoors with it's human family. If you aren't prepared to have them in your home and care for them..... simply don't have one.
I've had pugs my whole life- 50 plus years- and know what you mean.
This is the most Christmas thing I've ever seen
That was an entire minute that the dog was lonely and another 2 till he finds a home. My heart can't take that.
Every creature on Gods green earth deserves love beautiful story!
for what you do for the least of human and animals, you do for ME.
Love them dont abuse them and if you see abuse or neglect save them!
I think I saw this video last year. I cried then and I cried now. Wonderful video. No dog should have to suffer in this manner. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas 🌲🎁!

@@beverlyw.8196 My brothers Golden, Sarge helped me through a painful divorce years ago. Our walks were so positive. I have been deep cleaning to keep busy creating a new environment. Gotta keep it clean. My furnace filters are $55. ea. if you buy bulk (4 min.). They were $33 a few years ago. Be good to yourself as you heal.
@@beverlyw.8196 Just think your Precious Gracie has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge ☁ 🌈 🕊 🧔♀ ✝ along with so many other Precious pups that have gone before us 🦮🦮🦮 🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 🐕🐕 You'll NEVER be forgotten & ALWAYS LOVED & REMEMBERED ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏
I am unashamedly an absolute sucker for anything with a lovely dog and Christmas magic. Thank you
My dogs always sleep with us…She’s part of the family ♥️. We keep her safe, warm, fed and LOVED
This just broke my heart. First off, my two Goldens passed a couple of years ago, one at age 15, and the other at 16. It took me a long time to be able to see a Golden without crying. But, second: as cute as this video is, 1) you don't leave a dog outside to the elements, and 2) you don't give a living being as a Christmas gift (or Easter, or Valentine's ...). Adding a new member of the family in a deliberate manner. Christmas is most often a hectic time of year, when it's difficult to provide an animal the type of atmosphere where it can quietly get used to all of this - well - NEW! So, for me it's kinda a two thumbs down sorta reaction. But that dog .....! Made me realize that I need another Golden. Happy holidays everyone!
A dog, a little boy and Santa Claus. A winning combination!
The filmmaker and this pup deserve an Oscar. No words spoken but it communicated plenty.
😭😭😭😭 I join everyone in prayer for every animal and human being to be loved and protected, blessed and cared for this season. Can’t stop crying you’re film touched me so deeply. Beautifully done with such heart Bless you ♥️🙏🏻❣️
I Join with You Miss Noreen ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏 🦮🦮🦮 🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
Santa is a great man ❤❤❤❤❤ made me tear up ! Animals deserve love, kindness and respect for their unconditional love ! Merry Christmas ❤❤
I recently adopted 2 fur babies..... Harley and Bailey.......i love them soo much...... couldn't stand the thought of them being alone and cold and hungry......all dogs deserve a good home and a loving person to take care of them♥️♥️♥️♥️
So do cats, guinea pigs, rabbits. canaries, parakeets, hamsters, well you get the idea, love them all.
I almost didnt watch this video because I knew I would cry....and I did. I'm glad I did though, this is so precious. I lost my poodle 6 months ago. She brought me many years of joy. Thank God for the animals! And thank you for the video.😊
The best friend ever. Love them like they love us!❤️❤️❤️
I got chills 😢 for all the lonely souls dogs, animals & people ❤️🔥
Mi perrita adoptada Leia es mi gran amiga, cada vez quiero más a os animales. Me da mucha tristeza el poco cariño que da mucha gente a sus perros. Esta historia es preciosa, gracias.
Oh no this made me cry! My wee dog is lying beside me on the bed legs in the air☺. She's a wee rescue only had 3 months and she's loved so much. Wish I could take more. Be good to your pets, they are family❤
Animals are THE BEST !!!! They bring out THE BEST in us !!!! Animals save their masters too !!!! Thank you !!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Heartwarming and such a peaceful touching message through Buddy and his friend as a reminder of just how much they too deserve a warm place to belong🎄💝
30 yrs ago when I had a dozen Saints we had them dressed up as deer, hey could not cut 4 out, my sleigh and my bro in his elf costume and me as santa no padding. on a flatbed and a buddy of mine with his tractor took us to the childrens hospitals and nursing homes and boy i can still feel the warmth happiness and lots of tears of joy.
Never forget Christmas is every day. Just one small kindness to another human down on their luck, makes all the difference and dont forget the homeless animals and shelter animals they need a nice helping of LOVE.
God Bless you all and Keep HIS spirit alive and well every day

What a gift you gave all of us to be able to watch this and be touched by it. Thank you so much!
Hello Rhonda
Merry Christmas
"Believe" ... Thank you, Jeff for this short film . Your dog Ryn is beautiful. 🎄❤
Not only is this a heart warming video about a dog and the wonderful Santa who gave it a beautiful christmas. It is also, for me, sooo wonderful to read the heartfelt comments that people wrote. Tears of joy filled my eyes. Thank you, Jeff Pratt , Merry Christmas to you , and all the people who contributed to this meaningful video.
How precious!! This adorable pup reminds me so much of our own red Golden, Hoover, right down to way he sits upright and reaches out to Santa with his precious paws. Well done, and thank you so much!
IF ONLY. If only the shelters were empty, and no creature was left behind. If only they knew compassion...love from human kind. If only a sweet precious life, knew love beyond compare. If only...if only...if only...someone was there. ❤
I needed this today. I've had a rough week and was feeling sorry for myself. I was a fool. God bless the animals...we don't deserve them
Omg I'm crying that short story touched my heart such a wonderful story such a great ending if only all gods creatures coul have such a happy ending
I cried! Amazing! Every animal deserve love, careful and a home
No words spoken but the Christmas spirit is very strong in this video, thank you for sharing it now ....Merry Christmas to all and the pets too.
Vielen Dank für diesen zauberhaften und gleichzeitig sehr nachdenklichen Kurzfilmen !
Hunde sind großartige und treue Begleiter des Menschen !
Sie werden oft nicht mit dem notwendigen Respekt behandelt !
Traurig!!!
That's Christmas! I was blessed to be Santa to 15 labs in training to be guide dogs this Christmas and it made my holiday!
wow. Love this. just got a new dog a few months ago. He has brightened my life in amazing ways and he is my Buddy
What an incredibly sweet video! Dogs have Christmas wishes too. They just want to be loved and have a safe home and family!
Many people think & assume that dogs don't feel-they DO, they are less than-they are NOT, they don't have wants & desires but they ALL DO 🦮🦮🦮 people need to OWN & ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY for their own lives, actions & choices !!!! Choices have Consequences 👮👮👮 What comes around-goes around !!!! God have Mercy on them all !!!!!!!
Bless this precious babies heart. 😢 People kill me how they treat their pets.
I cried ALL the way through 😭😭😭!! Animal's love us unconditionally and all they want in return is to feel that same kind of love. So many unwanted unloved animals out there that it breaks my heart 💔😭! I wish I could take every one of them in they deserve a loving forever home!
This makes me miss my Teka. The was such a good dog. We had her for 12 years before she passed.
That was so beautiful. How Santa saved that poor dog from frozen death . Now this this beautiful this dog warm home and loving family to look after .
Beautifully done. Thank you for this inspiring video. Ryn played the part of Buddy to perfection!
Hello Trisha
How are you doing today?
This Beautiful! Please remember they are part of your Family! 😇🙏❤
I'd see those bumper stickers saying 'puppies aren't just for Christmas'. For decades I never 'got' the meaning because I was on the road working and didn't have pets.
Then one day WHAM! it hit me deep into my heart and soul.
My sister and I had to raise ourselves due to having a mom so mentally ill she couldn't function. So I got it BIG TIME... if you can't handle loving a pet from infancy to death best to leave to a loving somebody who can AND will. No animal should just 'be for Christmas'. No cats, dogs, rabbits, Guineas, fish, tarantulas etc
My niece wanted a cat really bad. Her mom was a dog person...Jamie came over to Aunties house one day (as a little girl) and announced w a big, gleeful smile "My mom says I can have a cat as long as it lives over here with you. ( directly across the street) Pleeeaasseee"
My sister has the guile of an attorney!!! Okay--- so Lo and Behold Aunt Lynn became a cat owner at age 36. At age 55 I slowly morphed into becoming a Crazy Cat Lady.
Do not 'throw away' God's innocents thru neglect and abuse!
AMEN SISTER
World’s greatest Aunt…
True words.
Good bless you. 🕊🐾
WOW! That is so powerful and that is a Golden for sure.
Thank you ,this gave me comfort😊 our beautiful dog died this Christmas season. Reminded me of how blessed we were to have him .I didn't fully understand what he did for my daughter until we lost him. This film helped me to see the importance of a pet and a child ! They are both so vulnerable and need each other 💞
So heart warming. I am a big believer if you own a pet it belongs in the house with the family. Not stuck out in the elements in a dog house. Our furry little friends need and want interaction with their owners. I do believe.
Always pray and watch over them/protected them at any cost. God love them also!
I like that they had an older dog and not a puppy. So many people want a puppy until they find out how much work it is or until it's no longer a puppy and then they dump it.
Yes BELEIVE....All things are possible for the one who believes.....
Beautiful....I just lost my loved Corgi Nook on 30 November 2022....She crossed the stars and waits for me at The Rainbow Bridge...someday we will meet again on some sunny day...Until then...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...May the Lord's Blessing of Peace, Joy and Happiness be with you and your Family and Pets, May his Grace and Glory Surround you and your Family and pets throughout the Coming New Year..
May God bless Ryn plus all the other Buddies out there.. It is a wonderful movie which made this grumpy old septuagenarian cry. Thank you.
Having worked in a shelter and with stray cats and dogs... This is what I always hope for 💖
Sadly, this will be just a dream for many dogs, where they wake to the reality that they live in.
But most of all, they dream embrace, the warmth of love, the familiar face. For Christmas magic, they understand, is found in the touch of a human hand.
The only Christmas wish I make is for every dog to be in a furrever loving home. They all deserve love, friendship, food, warmth and safety. 🐕💜
God bless every Animal This holiday season
May GOD Bless, Provide, Protect, DELIVER every animal in an abusive circumstance, Be Healed, Restored and the abusive people all be brought to justice 👮👮 What a shame that more prisons are needed & its the tax payer that pays along with God's Precious animals ✝ 🛐 🛐 ❤❤❤ We CRY OUT O' GOD ✝ 🛐🛐 🛡🛡🛡🛡 🧔♀🧔♀🧔♀
Santa = Jesus Christ's Ambassador of Love, Selflessness & Charity on Earth. Merry CHRISTmas our King of Kings is born ❤️🕊
Amen!
Just knock it off already
I have watched so many adds about Christmas, and the short film about given the dog a new !I've with a family made me cry for the first time. At this time of the year for a long time,so season greetings to every one
Jeff I lost it. I am a retired film director and this is exquisite. You held the shots and edited at *just* the right frame. Beautiful music.
Very inspiring indeed. Never considered making a short film until I saw this one and the impact it can have. As a retired film director do you teach lessons online?
I would sleep outside before I let either of my Golden’s be cold & lonely. A dog is a family member with feelings and a soul. They understand hurt and the know love!
I'm not crying..I've just got something in my eyes..❤
Someone must be cutting onions
same
I'm a 40 year old man and my dog is my best friend... merry Christmas girl I love you
I have tears. Lost my 1 pet a few months ago. Believing that I can have another soon.
Like a tree in a yard is made to shelter many generations of people, we are made to shelter many generations of four-legged friends.
Are you seriously trying to make me cry! That really did tug at the old heartstrings, so beautiful and what a darling, darling dog, love him ♥️💋🎄
I cried when I saw this video! I just wanted to hug that dog. I loved this video, it's going in my likes, so I can watch it every Christmas (& throughout the year!)
Breaks my heart to see an animal out in the cold. Thank you Santa 🎅 Jesus watch over all the animals 🙏
I'm pretty sure this is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I have one, and he's the most incredible dog. Highly intelligent, loyal and happy.
I felt that straight to the heart.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing can’t stop crying❤Merry Christmas everybody and please remember to be kind
You need to come to the US and decorate the tree in Rockefeller Center in New York! You have such a flare! Absolutely beautiful tree! Thank you for sharing with us. You are just part of the family.
This had me in tears. Our sweet 16 year old furbaby died 3 weeks ago and my heart is shattered. Seeing that poor dog outside, alone in the snow just broke me.
Beautiful film Jeff, you have captured the love and good will toward men and animals during the holidays. Much love and God Bless🥰
If it's to cold for you, it is sure as heck to cold for them. I have several dogs, and I never once leave any of them outside, period. My dogs are my family and I love them more than any human.
This is beyond touching ❤❤ Thank you and I BELIEVE ❤🎅😢❤🎅😢
Merry Christmas
