error: expected primary-expression before '.' token

Rileey (2)
I keep getting an error trying to call my struct, my assignment for this is to create an organized table of information about the given pets. We were given:
Pet pets[5] = { {“Fido”, 7, true}, {“Puppy”, 1, false}, {“Kitty”, 1, false}, {“Brutus”, 11, true}, {“Bilbo”, 15, true} };
Here is what I have so far.

BTW, this is the output. You need to tidy it up a bit by formatting it:


Kitty     1     No
Name       Age     Neutered
----------------------------
Fido     7     Yes
Puppy     1     No
Kitty     1     No
Brutus     11     Yes
Bilbo     15     Yes
Program ended with exit code: 0

Thank you so much. That makes a lot more sense now.
