This is the story of Zoë, a well-known Flemish beagle. She is the empress of all dogs and travels around the world all the time. She has only one calling: to teach the dogs that they must unite and rise up to secure their rights.

Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends—Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the ever doleful Eeyore—have endured as the unforgettable creations of A. A. Milne, who wrote two books of Pooh’s adventures for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave them shape through his iconic and beautiful illustrations.

I have suffered the most horrific ordeals, some of which are contained in this book. Yet, through it all, my friends and family have sustained and supported me.

My psychiatrist and mental health team have been an inspiration.
