Needing a change of pace, elementary school teacher Kelly Seda accepts the school exchange position and flies from Ottawa to London. Exchanging jobs and houses for a year, he and six-year-old daughter Wendy have a less than a day to adjust before starting work. Single mum Staci Kirk has carved out a life for herself and her young son Tommy. Fiercely independent and self-reliant, she's found a good place where she can settle in but she's all too aware that happily ever after applies only to other people—or to the fictional characters in the romance books she writes. The arrival of Tommy's new teacher, also her next door neighbour, threatens to upset Staci's carefully balanced apple cart but she knows it's only a matter of time before Kelly packs his bags and flies back to Canada. No sense in starting anything she can't finish. However, life is never as simple as it is in her novels, and when the worst happens, there is only one person she can rely on to help.

It is the night before Christmas Eve when ten-year old Peter Miller learns that his dog, Cody, is stranded over two hundred miles from his home. But when he discovers that his father purposely left Cody near a freight yard, Peter sets out on his own in the dark of the night to get his dog. As the sun rises on Christmas Eve, Peter arrives in the distant town, thanks to the kindness of a truck driver who gives him a ride. After he is reunited with Cody, Peter quickly realizes that he and the dog do not have a way home. With very little food and money in his pocket and with snow on the ground, it appears that Peter's challenge is much bigger than him. No one will give him a ride as long as Cody is along. But young Peter will not give up. With the help of the prayers of his family, Peter is now in a race against time to find a way home before nightfall. The Christmastime Dog Rescue is a story of determination, love, repentance, and forgiveness as a little boy and his beloved dog attempt to make it home for Christmas.
