This entertaining book will appeal to animal and pet lovers as well as anyone interested in veterinary science. Wells begins with descriptions of the first cases he handled, fresh out of vet school–the on-the-job training that no college course can provide. His encounters with both animals and their human owners are humorous and touching, and each of his stories demonstrates his love of animals as well as his compassionate approach to the animals he treats as well as their human companions.
