ynopsis

A young cross bred puppy is up for sale and we can hear him talking, he sees Mikey passing by him and begs him to take him home. Mikey however has to hurry past in tow of his mother, and two harsh looking individuals buy the puppy. The puppy manages to escape them and starts his life as a stray.

James is a private air pilot working for Samantha - who we see has a crush on him and is always trying to extend the trips to spend more time with him. Mollie is looking for a job. Mikey tells Santa that he wants a dog for Christmas, James feels the time has come to give Mikey the present he has always wished for and tells his boss Samantha about this.

Unable to acquire a decent job, Molly gets a job as one of the Elves for the mall Santa for the holiday season. During a visit, Mikey discovers to his horror that that Santa Claus is a fake and becomes upset with disbelief.

One day though the dog gets caught by the animal rescue force and taken to a kennel, where several other dogs are kept - presumably also found on the streets. The dog is about to be destroyed on the same day that James brings Mikey to the kennel to select a dog, overjoyed Mikey bumps into the dog he saw as a pup, and takes an instant liking to him and decides to take him home.

When James, Mikey and Rocks the dog (aptly named because "That's what he left all over the back seat") get home, they see that Samantha is at their house and has brought over her dog Daphne who is highly trained and she wants James to have it as a present from her. Molly discovers that James had gone and gotten a dog for Mikey without discussing it with them and after a brief argument, they can't take Rocks back to the kennel or he'd be destroyed, and James does not want to offend Samantha by refusing Daphne. And now realize they are stuck with two dogs.

Mikey and Rocks, along with Julie and Daphne begin a small series of sibling squabbles that irritate each child and their dog. Rocks, who had been getting threats from Molly to be back out on the streets for eating her expensive shoes and unresolutely peeing all over the floor breaks the line by accidentally destroying Daphne's doghouse while playing fetch with Mikey. Daphne goes into Molly's room and sets Rocks up by chewing on her shoes. When Molly discovers this she throws a fit screaming "You are out of here!" Mikey hears this and becomes upset. While being shut out on the patio, Daphne later apologizes to Rocks for her actions and it is discovered that he doesn't understand their attempts to train him to sit, lie down, beg or any of the other standard tricks a dog is taught. As "the world's most over-trained dog" as his teacher, Daphne proceeds to teach Rocks the simple tricks that his family has been trying to teach him.

Meanwhile, James and Samantha go to her partner's home cabin on Christmas Eve during a strong snow storm. But James fails to discover this is an elaborate setup to get them alone and stranded. She sends her driver away keeping him from leaving. She unplugs the phone and fax machine and plants a phony fax sheet clarifying that he (her partner) would not arrive until that night or early the following morning. Realizing he would possibly freeze to death trying to get out, James silently agrees to stay, giving Samantha the satisfaction that her setup was working.

Molly begins to suspect James is having an affair with Samantha when she calls Samantha's office and discovers the two are at a cabin in northern New York and her partner was in the Bahamas with his wife and family for the weekend. She calls back and under the guise of a flower delivery service manages to get the address to the cabin. She gathers the children and the gifts to take Christmas to James. The family suffers a car accident when it slides off the snowy, icy roads and into the forest below the highway, a wolf appears and prepares to attack Molly as she is outside of the car. Rocks rolls down the window and faces the wolf, attacking and scaring him away. He and Daphne decide to split up to get the family help. He sends Daphne to find help while Rocks follows James' scent. After Daphne straightens out the difference between 'sniff' and 'snort' she finds a Forest Ranger, and calls the squad to the family car.

While "instructing" Samantha to dance in the den under firelight, James looks up and discovers that the phone line has been pulled from the wall. He finally catches on to Samantha's ploy, dropping her promptly onto the floor. After telling James he deserves better than a "frumpy little housewife who doesn't have the ability to find a decent job" Rocks appears at the door. She continues to threaten him, stating that if he walks out the door she will fire him and he won't find another decent job for the rest of his pathetic life. Her voice is cut off though as Rock urinates all over her feet and the two leave. After discovering that Molly and the kids are no longer at the car, James and Rocks are confronted by a pack of wolves. Rocks defends James and as the attack happens there is the sound of yelping.

Back at the Ranger station, Mikey is looking out the window and he thinks he sees Santa hiking up the path to the station, all are surprised when James comes in the door. He explains that he was attacked by wolves and Rocks came to his rescue, leading Mikey and Daphne to believe sadly that Rocks had been killed during this attack. James brings out his beeper, which has been crushed by the wolves' attack. Rocks appears and all is well again, apparently the sound of the beeper was what drove the wolves off and neither were hurt. After seeing that Rocks is obeying every command that comes out of James' mouth (though he doesn't realize it) she votes that he stays, and they are one big happy family again. The ranger chimes in and states he's picking up a weird transmission, turning the dial and Santa's voice is made out stating "Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!" much to Mikey's surprise.
