Animal Talk: Played with. Squirrel's internal monologue implies that animals talk to each other, but the book is in first-person and the only dialogue comes from humans. Squirrel can also understand foxes but not cats, suggesting canines can understand one another.

Artistic License – Animal Care: Subverted with the dog's diet. They scavange from trash bins for most of their food, which leaves them malnourished. It's also shown that some foods, like chocolate, make them ill.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Subverted. Most of Squirrel's owners are neglectful at best and abusive at worst, however they're not evil.
