Dolly Parton's French bulldog faces holiday dilemma in new children's book, "Billy the Kid Comes Home for Christmas"

Dolly Parton's latest venture hits close to home. The country legend's new children's book stars her own French bulldog Billy in a Christmas tale that mirrors her career's biggest challenge: Choosing between the spotlight and family. 

Appearing on "CBS Mornings" from Nashville on Wednesday, Parton revealed "Billy the Kid Comes Home for Christmas," where the music-loving pup faces a dilemma between performing at "Barka-feller Center" and spending the holiday with loved ones. 

"I think we're one in the same," Parton said about the four-legged pup that she has had for years. "I try to have a message for kids, you know, whether it's about love, friendship, family. And we'll have a whole series of Billy books. We've already had one, and it was about confidence and all that. But this is Christmas. I love Christmas, and I thought, well, Billy has to be part of my Christmas, since he is so much a part of me."
