Stories from My Life as a Small Animal Vet

Beschreibung

"I Want to Go Where They Went" is a memoir of Dr. Schmidt's experiences from three decades as a small animal veterinarian. Within it are twelve stories of captivating cases, humorous events, and touching moments. In the style of James Herriot's beloved nonfiction, Dr. Schmidt shares the tales of his animal patients, who can't tell the stories themselves. The chapters begin with dramatic situations and quirky pet parents. Some of the chapters feature medical dramas, while others highlight the amazing individuals Dr. Schmidt encounters on his journey. The stories emphasize the special bond between pets, their owners, and the medical team that cares for them. Many offer a unique, behind-the-scenes exploration into the world of veterinary medicine. The book features pencil illustrations and photographs of some of the pets and people featured in the stories. This is a must-have for anyone who's ever welcomed an animal into their homes and hearts.
