What a great book. It's by a Vet surgeon, Nick Trout, and full of stories about endearing pets and their sometimes eccentric owners. It would be especially interesting for someone who plans on becoming a Vet or wants to work in the animal health field.

Here is a little blurb about this really interesting book:

"Trout shows how the daily life of a veterinarian requires the ability to be a social worker, a psychologist, a grief counselor, mentor, carpenter, plumber, cosmetologist, athletic coach, magician, grim reaper, and occasionally, guardian angel. And in some of the more heart rending stories, such as that of an older widowed man dealing with the potential loss of his shepherd companion, Sage, Trout shows his sensitivity to the fact that in each case, The rewards and strength of the bonds with the animals in their lives proved irresistible, irrepressible, and more than worth the risk.
