Xander is the oldest dog at the local pound. He is a loyal storyteller with a heart full of hope.

Every Christmas, he tells the furry-tail of Sandy Claws, the legendary black lab who chases the sacred Frisbee of Freedom across the beach and flies through the skies helping people find their forever dogs.

One by one, Xander watches his friends leave the shelter for loving homes. Though happy for them, he wonders if anyone will ever choose an old dog like him.

Then, during his darkest night, Xander meets a star named Bethlehem that tells him about miracles.
