CLEARWATER, Florida - The story of Sox is painful to tell, but impossible to ignore.

The 9-month-old Yorkie-Poodle mix was tortured and left to die in a Clearwater bathroom just before Christmas. But looking at Sox, you'd never know anything was wrong. The level of loyalty and love from a dog is like no other.

Clearwater, Florida - Making a difference has become a Christmas tradition for a Clearwater family.

Instead of buying gifts for their father, family members are told to help others and then create an ornament to symbolize the act of kindness. This idea grew into The Love Tree.

For the Henderson family, the true meaning of Christmas hangs on this tree.

"It's a reminder that one person can make a difference and together we can all make a bigger difference," says Tracy Hunter.
