More expository and less episodic than I’d hoped from the title. Which is my mistake for not reading the reviews first. But still enjoyable—I love reading about veterinarians and the pets they treat, and of course as he continually points out, the people of the pets. If a veterinarian truly hates dealing with pet owners, he will be truly unhappy with his job because that’s a big, big part of it. But he enjoys all that and seems to come out fine.
So there are lectures about things like heartworms, holidays, and inappropriate pets. And there are also amusing stories about things dogs eat, inappropriate pets that turn out just fine, and very odd people who put up with absurd (or dangerous) situations because their pets call the shots. Or at least, their pets as the humans perceive them to be thinking.
Nice little book but I don’t think I’ll read the sequel.
