I have two great loves which have stayed with me ever since I was a young girl-writing (mainly poetry) and dogs (all kinds!). Over the years, I have found various ways to express these passions. About a decade ago, out of a desire to respond to and grow my love for those creatures, I became a professional in training and behavioral treatment for dogs. As part of that, I began incorporated my second great love-writing on topics connected with the world of dogs, both for children and for adults. As a firm believer that raising dogs and observing their behavior can teach us many important life lessons, I decided to write a series of rhyming books for children which use dog's world. The purpose of the books is to share with a younger generation valuable life lessons. Thus, Mozzi was born, along with this new series of books "Values for a Good Life". My first short book, From Fearful to Joyful, a heartwarming and beautiful photographed journey featuring Me and my beloved dog Angie, reminds readers of all ages of how to face fears and turn challenges into great opportunities.
