The Pinto Bean Story
**The Pinto Bean Story: Where I Belong**
**PAGE 1/2:**
My name is Pinto Bean
And I am an amazing dog.
Pinto introduces himself, beaming with pride despite having three legs. His story begins in Georgia, where he was found injured on the interstate. Someone rescued him and took him to a pet rescue, where he received the rest and care he needed.
**Visual Notes:** Pinto smiling in front of the pet rescue building.
**PAGE 3:**
The veterinarians tried to save my leg, but it couldn't be helped. With support from my new friends, I learned to balance and not fall. Now, I have three legs instead of four, but I can still play, run, cuddle, and more! To everyone's surprise, including mine, I gave birth to a litter of nine puppies!
**Visual Notes:** Puppies playing with Pinto, one puppy tugging on a towel while Pinto pulls back.
**PAGE 4:**
All of my puppies were full of mischief and fun. They were clumsy, cute, furry, and always on the run.
**Visual Notes:** Clumsy puppies climbing on Pinto.
**PAGE 5:**
I made friends with a Beagle, a Pug, and a Pitbull named Emily. They all got adopted, but what about me?
**Visual Notes:** Beagle, Pug, and Pitbull playing next to Pinto.
**PAGE 6:**
Some people stared at me, calling me a tripod canine. But I am okay with that; it suits me perfectly fine. I am special, I am unique, and my personality just can't be beat!
**Visual Notes:** Pinto embracing her uniqueness.
**PAGE 7:**
I began to wonder if someone would adopt a dog with three legs, not four. As I laid my head down, someone came zipping through the door. I heard a voice say, "Can I adopt that beautiful dog with those big brown eyes? I really think she is the perfect size."
I ran to her with a steady pace, wagging my tail all over the place! My name is Pinto, like the bean, and I now have my forever home... it’s like a dream. A kind young woman named Maddy came along and brought me home—where I belong.
