Trivia
The medal that the mayor wears on his coat is a National Defense Service medal. It is the oldest service medal that is still being issued.

Goofs
The opening credits show the story is set in 1931, however, there is an anachronism in that the Mayor is wearing a United States National Defense Service medal. These medals were first issued in 1953 by President Eisenhower. The medal is, therefore, incorrect for the time period.

Also, the Mayor is wearing the medal on his right side, whereas it is traditionally & correctly worn on the left side.

Crazy credits
No animals were harmed in the making of this film... only producers.

A heart warming family movie!

My husband and I enjoyed watching The 12 Dogs of Christmas. Not only were we impressed with the vintage feel, character development and wonderful display of dogs we were impressed with Eric Lutes, my husbands brother who played the coach. The next morning we tested the movie on our 3 year old daughter. She and her 14 month old brother were totally delighted! Often she would gleefully shout out Uncle Eggie!, Uncle Eggie!

I do hope folks spread the word about this endearing movie. Oh, our local Walmart in Vermont was sold out of the DVD's!

Happy Holidays! ~The Lutes Family
