Review Quotes

"A Must Read for All Pet Lovers"

"I read this book in one sitting. I laughed, I cried, but mostly I marveled at how many lives (pets and people) John's work touched and enhanced. In full disclosure, I attended high school with John and found out about his book from one of our classmates."

"John's book went beyond what I'd expected, as it was not just another wonderful collection of James Herriot tales of a vet's life. It was this, therefore the laughing and the crying, but it also made me aware as to the effects that big business can have upon the quality of life for those of us who love our pets almost as much as we love our kids. It also impressed upon me how important it is to stay informed about our pet's health and to do the research necessary regarding the options that may be available."

"Valuable information interspersed with heartwarming stories of living a meaningful life."
