Do you need a good Christmas story that has a dog in it? One that will make you want to curl up with a blanket because it’s so cold? If so, today’s story is just for you.
Christmas with Tucker by Greg Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh, this story! I had read and loved “A Dog Named Christmas,” and when I found out there was another one by the same author about the same people, I was excited!
There is so much heart to this story. George McCray remembers back to the Christmas time when he was twelve years old living on the farm with his grandparents. He as at a turning point in his life, and things were rough. I felt for the boy and his mom and grandparents. I felt for Tucker, and for the others.
The setting was so real that I felt like I had to read this story wrapped in a warm blanket because of all the ice and snow (it was in the 60s outside). But, while this story is sad, it is also good. It has hope. It has healing. And no, the dog doesn’t die. Well, he does when he’s old, but that’s not really part of the story.
This is a Christmas story I know I’ll be reading again and recommending to others.
Have you read any Christmas stories by this author? When you think of Christmas time, do you think of cold and snow? Do you have a favorite Christmas story that features a dog?
I really want to read this one!
I think you’d like it.
I read this book about two weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I also recently read A Christmas Home.
A few years ago I read A Dog Named Christmas for the first time.
It’s such a good story!
