I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown
Directed by Larry Leichliter, Bill Melendez
Produced by Lee Mendelson Film Productions, Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates
A gentle, heartwarming holiday special about a boy's longing for a dog and the comfort found in unexpected friendships.
All Rerun wants from Santa is a dog, but his mother won't let him have one. Spending time with Snoopy provides the perfect pick-me-up. But when Snoopy gets too busy to play with Rerun, they call in a substitute—Snoopy's brother Spike.
