It's Christmas time in 1930's Pittsburgh, but it looks to be a dismal season for motherless 12-year-old Emma O'Connor who has been sent to her "Aunt" Delores' in Doverville, Maine. On her arrival, Emma finds herself unwelcomes by Delores, and caught in the middle of a town war over the "No Dogs allowed" law. Emma, with the help of her schoolmates, an unlikely band of grownups and a diverse canine corps of over 60 dogs, attempts to win over the citizens of Doverville by staging a holiday pageant, "The 12 Dogs of Christmas", and in doing so, may save not only the dogs but herself.
