What is Christmas in Blue Dog Valley about?
Goldie, a veterinarian who has been working on Hollywood film sets, leaves that life behind with plans to take over the much-loved animal clinic in Blue Dog Valley. The town isn't quick to warm up to a newcomer, so she sets out to earn its trust, with help from Cohen, the son of the clinic's previous vet. Cahill and Walker are both longtime Hallmark leads, and animal lovers will find plenty of four-legged patients in the mix.
