Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-13 00:00:00 Viktoria Fischer This is a collection of stories told by a veterinarian. Jeff Wells also includes chapters on how he became a vet and when he started out as a brand new vet at his first job. I really enjoyed this. Living in a city with only cats, I often don't think about all the other types of animals that vets care for, including horses, cows, pigs and there is even one story of a yak! The book had a few cute illustrations, and I liked that each chapter had a very small illustration of whichever type of critter would be focused on in that chapter. Definitely an enjoyable book.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-06 00:00:00 Eric Frederick Charming stories written by a Colorado veterinarian. Most of the chapters were from his earlier years in practice. Wells writes with a lot of sincerity and tenderness for the animals and their owners and peppers his accounts with quite a bit of humor. I preferred the more substantiative prose of "Tell Me Where it Hurts" by Nick Trout, but this book is a nice light read that animal lovers should enjoy.
