All My Patients Have Tales: Favorite Stories from a Vet's Practice

Praise for ALL MY PATIENTS HAVE TALES:

A wonderful account of the coming of age of a vet. Jeff Wells has written an honest and poignant account of vet school and his early years in practice. Dr. Wells shows equal parts compassion to both animal and human in his often humorous but always kind stories. May you be so lucky to have him as your vet and even luckier to call him your friend. --Susan Richards, author of Chosen by A Horse and Chosen Forever

What a treat it is to read tales from the tail-bearers. In this most welcome book we not only learn about animals in need, but also what it is like to be a veterinarian with a heart. This will be a better and more compassionate world if we listen to the stories animals tell us, for they are smart and passionate beings who have a point of view from which we can learn a lot about them and ourselves. --Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals, Wild Justice, and Animals at Play
