A celebration of the wonderful world of animals as seen through the eyes of a small town veterinarian. It helps readers gain insight into the pathos and passion, the mundane and incredible, the thigh-slapping humour and the crushing sadness of a vet's life as he seeks to mend and restore people's treasured companions.

Coston's first book is a warm, funny and amazingly fulfilling celebration of the wonderful world of animals as seen through the eyes of a small town veterinarian. 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 the dog that resurrected itself from death. There's Daphne, the transvestite 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 incredible, the thigh-slapping humour 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 book imparts a deeper understanding of the pets that daily enrich our lives.

Bruce R. Coston, D.V. M. received his doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota and has received the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences Service Award. He lives with his family in New Market, Virginia.
