Alicia Witt and Jason London star in this family comedy directed by Kevan Peterson. When Melanie (Witt) and Phil (London) ask their son Danny (Julian Feder) what he wants for his birthday, they are greeted with the response that every parent dreads: a dog. When Danny selects his dog from the local shelter he lovingly names her Shelly in honour of all sheltered dogs. Realising that Shelly has a talent, Danny decides to enter her in the illustrious Wiener Dog Nationals race. Only one thing stands in their way: Ms Merryweather (Morgan Fairchild) and her champion dog Princess.

Triple bill of films following the Christmas adventures of the irrepressible dog, Zeus. 'The Dog Who Saved Christmas' (2009) sees ex-police dog Zeus (voiced by Mario Lopez), who failed spectacularly at his former vocation, adopted by the Bannister family as an early Christmas present. When the house is broken into while the family are away on holiday it is up to Zeus to save the day with his dubious crime-fighting skills. 'The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation' (2010) follows the Bannister family and Zeus to a plush Rocky Mountain resort, where Zeus strikes up a promising friendship with flirtatious poodle Bella (voice of Paris Hilton). Finally, 'The Dog Who Saved the Christmas Holidays' (2012) sees Zeus and his owners fly to California to stay with their relative, Aunt Barbara (Shelley Long), at her extravagant beach mansion. Here Zeus finds a rival for human affection, the boisterous puppy, Eve. How will he deal with the young pretender?
