Writer Statement

We haven’t had a family Christmas musical since Jim Carey’s Grinch. With the year we’ve all had, it’s time to get the family together and bring back the fun. After volunteering at a hospice I saw first-hand how bonding with an animal could change lives. This is my family-friendly tribute to the lessons we learn from our friends, whether they come to us on two legs or a furry four.
