[edit] Plot
The story follows a dog named Olive, who doesn't act at all like a dog. When she returns home from some errands, she finds her owner Tim putting away Christmas decorations and learns that there won't be any Christmas because Blitzen, one of Santa's reindeer, is injured and can't fly. Santa hopes he can make the Christmas run with "All of the other reindeer". Mishearing this announcement on the radio as "Olive the other reindeer", Olive becomes convinced that it is she Santa is referring to, prompting her to travel to the North Pole to fill in on the sleigh team.
