Our pets have become our quarantine heroes by keeping us active and happy during the pandemic.

Many surveys found that pet owners felt less lonely during quarantine as their pets helped to lower their anxiety levels over the past few months. Thanks to this extra time inside, owners feel they have become closer to their pets during the COVID-19 quarantine 2020.

My pets brought lots of joy and entertainment to myself and my family's lives during the last few months of quarantine. Knowing that I was not the only pet parent who appreciated the love and comfort received by my pets during these hard times, I wanted to do something to highlight these unlikely quarantine heroes and honour the relationship we have with them.

The book is filled with pet owner’s stories highlighting how their pets were their quarantine heroes. The imagery of them and their pets was taken by me, Beth Alexander from Beth Photography in my new mobile pet photography studio.

$10 from each book sold will be donated to SafePet Ottawa.
