Description

This memoir by a small-town veterinarian "brims with insight, warmth, and charm" (Tucson Citizen).

At Bruce Coston's medical practice, the patients are an eclectic and surprising cast of characters who display incredible bravery and nobility at times, and unbelievable goofiness at others. There's Sandy, the dog who resurrected herself from death. There's Daphne, the cross-dressing cat who taught Bruce to be a cat person. And the owners are no less engaging, ranging from the angelic to the squeamish, teaching Bruce what it really means to be an animal doctor.

Readers will gain insight into the pathos and passion, the mundane and extraordinary, the thigh-slapping humor and the crushing sadness of a vet's life as he seeks to mend and restore people's treasured companions. Written with great warmth, this "moving" book imparts a deeper understanding of the pets who daily enrich our lives (Publishers Weekly).

"The life of a country veterinarian has never been as accessible since the bestselling books of James Herriot." -- Tucson Citizen

"A beautifully written memoir that not only explores the daily life of a veterinarian, but also the sacrifices it takes to get there." -- Jeff Wells, DVM, author of All My Patients Have Tales
