Me'n Gus

An icon in the world of dogs tanks his life in a competition when he and his pure bred German Shepherd fall. Sudden termination, arrest, public scorn, and family abandonment is hero’s force majeure, but making his comeback with a sick shelter mutt and receiving redemption from dog kind… that’s the true Christmas miracle.
