What's more, his finances are strained, completion of his college degree feels interminable, and his favorite little kink is no longer making his tail wag. But when his boss???an unusual woman with some tricks up her sleeve???gives him a special gift, Trevor's life changes in an instant. Enter Dewey Goode: teacher, animal rescuer, and cuddly hero. This touch of holiday magic may make Trevor a very lucky dog.
