Nothing Wrong with a Three-Legged Dog

Keath and his best friend Lynda are in the fourth grade. Some kids call Lynda "Zebra", because her mother's black and her father's white. And Keath is "Whitey". He's vanilla in a chocolate school where Toothpick, a bully, has it in for him.Lynda and Keath both love dogs. When Keath grows up, he wants to be a golden retriever. Dogs don't care about which color is the right one. Dogs don't hate anybody. Their favorite dog is Leftovers, Lynda's three-legged beagle. When he got hurt, his first owners gave up on him, but Lynda and Keath turn him into a winner -- a pooch that shows Keath that sometimes it's good to stand out, to be special. Keath learns that even when you look different, there are ways to fit in.McNamee, Graham is the author of 'Nothing Wrong with a Three-Legged Dog', published 2001 under ISBN 9780606213585 and ISBN 0606213589.
