In "The Dog Who Saved the Day," Veronica stumbles upon a heartfelt letter to Santa from a child who forgot to include an address, sparking a Christmas mystery that brings together her compassion and Betty’s sharp instincts. With a little help from a loyal dog and a dash of small-town sleuthing, the girls set out to deliver joy to a child in need—proving that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with warm, nostalgic art by Stan Goldberg and Jim DeCarlo, this 1981 holiday tale shines with the charm of classic Archie storytelling, and the cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the season’s spirit perfectly.
