Every kid needs a friend that is understanding, supportive, and there with a slobbery tennis ball when someone could use a smile. Jed's parents, however, again turn down the boy zombie's greatest wish. No wonder Jed races after a stray after spotting the dog in a park. If the dog happens to follow him home, how could his parents object? What happens in the next crucial moments is both Jed's worst and greatest moments in his undead life. When it it's over, Jed has a new best friend that's as unique as he is. Now all he has to do is convince his parents to let him keep up. How could they say no to a dog who doesn't only chase his tail, but catches it, tears it off and buries it? Things are even more tense at school when Jed learns of a mysterious group that wants all zombies suspended from school. Since he's the only undead students, it's clear he's the target.

But what have they got against him? And what might they do if they find out he made a zombie dog?.
