The first is “The Dog Who Saved Christmas” at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC Family. It’s about a guard dog (Mario Lopez’s voice) who protects his home while his humans are away. Dean Cain stars, too.

The second is “A Dog Named Christmas” at 9 p.m. Sunday CBS. A story about a man who tries to get everybody in town to foster a dog for the holidays.

As you can see, they are on at about the same time, so get your DVR/Tivo programmed now!

I’m putting my money on “A Dog Named Christmas” as the one you shouldn’t miss.

Something tells me the success of Marley & Me and Beverly Hills Chihuahua has Hollywood seeing doggie dollars!
