Shepherd

A young child named Johnny herds his father's large sheep herd with his dog named Shep. High in the mountains above their farm he unexpectedly meets someone who provides him with two gifts. A newly hired farm hand turns out to be an unsuspecting influence in the new journey that Johnny embarks upon. Johnny is particularly close to one of his cousins who is disabled, and for Christmas Johnny gives his cousin a very special gift. The gifts that Johnny received in the mountains help him to bring about this story's miraculous conclusion.
