Under the Radar DVD of the Week: '12 Christmas Wishes for My Dog'

This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists:

“12 Christmas Wishes for My Dog”

Looking for a warm-fuzzy, family (and pet) friendly diversion from holiday shopping? Check out the thoroughly wholesome, G-rated “12 Christmas Wishes for My Dog” (due out on DVD Tuesday).

This Lionsgate Home Entertainment release – also available through digital download and on-demand outlets – has an attractive cast that includes Elisa Donovan (“Clueless”), Gabrielle Carteris (TV’s “Beverly Hills 90210”), Michael Gross (TV’s “Family Ties” and Fred Willard (“Best in Show”).

It tells a magical, heart-warming tale of a troubled young named Laura (Donovan) who takes the advise of a friend and seeks out a “life coach” to get her own life back on track. This oddball counselor (Willard) tells Laura to make 12 wishes for a positive chance in her life.
