First, that cover!!! all the *heart eyes*
The artist is Corinne Reid and you can see a fuller, and a close up, version of Tatiana and the dragon here: http://www.corinnereid.com/#/thelongview/

Second, I don't know. The story pushes buttons for people and perhaps their interpretation of the story is tinted by their own life experiences. There are comments to read on the story's link at tor.com https://www.tor.com/2022/04/27/the-long-view-susan-palwick/ I think they are good to read after reading the story, to help see other's perspectives and interpret for yourself what the story means or what the author was attempting to get across.

Setting is a college campus. The story opens with: “Sir,” Bonnie said, “we have a situation.”
Elliott looked wearily up at her. It was only ten in the morning and he’d already fielded three companion animal challenges.


The "situation" is a unique companion animal and the person that needs it.

I think the story pushes us to fight our assumptions and points out some issues we all struggle with.
