Vivian Zottola's book, Cammie, Queen of the Neighborhood Goes to the Moon, addresses emotional challenges faced by families when companion animals experience loss or illness. It emphasizes that behaviors perceived as problematic often reflect a dog's coping mechanisms in response to stress. Zottola aims to provide comfort and understanding for both children and adults navigating the complexities of animal companionship and loss. The narrative encourages recognizing the dignity, safety, and meaningful connections that all animals deserve, while also promoting compassion in the face of life changes.
Every animal has a right to safety, dignity, and meaningful connections, emphasizing the importance of understanding their experiences and emotions.
What we label as problem behavior is usually a dog's way of navigating stress or expressing an unmet need, highlighting the importance of empathy in dealing with pets.
