Booktalk: The true story of Chi Chi, a Golden Retriever who is left abandoned and broken on the side of the road. She is rescued and brought to an animal hospital where the doctor must amputate Chi Chi’s legs. Chi Chi is joyful even though she loses her legs, and she waits patiently for her forever family to adopt her. When she is adopted, Chi Chi’s family realize that the bandages on her legs fall off easily. They decide to get her prosthetic legs, or “shoes,” so she can run and play like other dogs. Chi Chi’s hard work and joyful spirit give her the power to get stronger.

Snippet: Chi Chi swam in the water and fetched Ellie. I have to work harder and get stronger. I want to get my shoes so I can play with my friends.
