"Snow Fort" movie - the dog dies at the end - what is the title of this movie?!?!

Rhinostylee, I also would like to know the title to the crappy movie she liked that involved a choir doing a rendition of Handel’s Messiah. Was that “Perfect Harmony?” Or am I confusing that with the opening scene of Chris Elliot’s “Cabin Boy?” (What an awesome movie that was, too!)
