They Call Me:
Fat Zoe
Zoe, a Puggle puppy, and her owner ,Kate, are best friends. They share everything, even their food. When they visit the veterinarian, he informs them that Zoe is overweight. "Fat Zoe" needs to go on a diet or else she will be at risk for health issues. Upon learning this, Kate gets upset and confesses to her mom that the kids at school call her"Fatso" too and do not want to be friends with her. With help from Kate's teacher and the doctor's suggestions for a healthy eating and exercise plan, Kate, Zoe, her family and her friends begin to live healthier, happier lives.
This is an excellent source of insight for children and families to become healthy together. If families would work together then there would not be such a large problem.
