Nick Trout, DVM, presents a story of two dogs: Helen and Cleo. One is an elderly stray adopted by one of his patients; the other is a cosseted puppy who comes under his care after a serious injury.Dr. Trout talks about how the unexpected loss of Cleo, and his subsequent discussions with her owner, inspire him to look at all of his patients a little differently. He is clearly a compassionate man with a tremendous amount of caring in his heart for his animal patients and their guardians.Highly recommended for people who enjoy animal memoirs like A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion and Homer's Odyssey: a Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat.
