I love to read veterinary memoirs; I think that it's the career path that I would have chosen if I had my life to live over. As others have noted, this memoir focused excessively on the author's life events (his relationship with his girlfriend before their engagement, his wife's pregnancies, etc.). I preferred the parts of the book which dealt with the animals Dr. Coston treated. I also found Dr. Coston's writing style a bit precious at times. Still, a worthwhile read.
A very enjoyable book! Makes want to meet Dr Coston and take a job at his clinic. Enjoyable little stories, you get to meet the nicest people and animals. A quick read. Feels like an American version of James Herriot (I'm sure he will get tired of hearing that!)
Wonderful book...very entertaining!

This is a memoir by a veterinarian. It focuses more on his life than the animal anecdotes, but those are definitely added in, as well; that is, it the larger focus is on his life in becoming and being a veterinarian (as well as some family life and his own pets).
For the most part I liked it. I found the schooling and the anecdotes interesting. Of his home life, the pets were the best part. I was disappointed, however, to read that at least one of his cats (not sure about the others) was declawed, as was the office cat at his practice.… (plus d'informations)
