It's a Wonderful Dog

It’s Christmas Eve in western Kansas and a snowstorm is gaining strength as Bear Bailey, a devoted Great Pyrenees, tries to comfort his beloved owner Mary. She’s in hot water with the local business villain, and Bear’s earlier altercation with this miser only seemed to make things worse. When Mary blurts out that she wishes for a different life, Bear blames himself for her despair and runs away.

Several years after nearly being lost to the town villain, Bear Bailey’s Co-op and Grocery has become the community hub. Mary Bailey’s cousin, Katie, is the cornerstone in the store’s impressive growth, though her personal life lacks the same success. As the co-op seeks new solutions for much needed funding, a wandering dog appears in town with the arrival of spring. Bear learns the heartbreaking history of the abandoned hobo dog, and soon realizes the stray has arrived to help Katie find her life’s journey.

It’s summertime in Merivelle, and Riven Chapowits is on a mission to show he’s a changed man. An earlier vow doesn’t allow him to explain himself, testing his resolve to stay the course of redemption. Bear Bailey, the Great Pyrenees who sees the best in everyone, endeavors to help Riven get involved in the community. But Riven’s history, coupled with Bear’s age, makes it challenging for both of them.
