* "This doggy diva is queen of the catwalk." -Oprah Winfrey, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" * Zelda is the official "spokesdog" for Delta Society Pet Partners, an international program dedicated to the human-animal healing bond. With a full line of Zelda Wisdom cards, calendars, gift kits, other licensed products, and seven previous books under her collar, Zelda now dispenses her advice on her popular weekly Dear Zelda column on www.zeldawisdom.com. At the core of Zelda's wisdom is a focus on humor and healing. As owner Carol Gardner explains, "Zelda always makes me laugh. She's proof that you don't have to be thin, rich, young, or wrinkle-free to be successful. More important, you don't have to be perfect to be happy." From peer pressure to retirement and from sibling rivalry to toxic relationships and much more, Zelda's advice allows us to laugh at ourselves and realize that in life's ups and downs, we are never alone. Tough when necessary, and tender when needed, there is a little Zelda in all of us!
