Gareth Steele has been working with animals for over twenty years. He is a veterinarian who has had to deal with all types of pets: not only hamsters, cats and dogs, but also chickens, cows and horses. His day could begin with the heroic rescue of a rabbit stuck between a fence and a barn and end with euthanizing a cat whose owners could no longer keep him. Joy, delight, gratitude, disappointment, anger, powerlessness - the whole range of emotions, sometimes extreme, are experienced by people working in veterinary clinics. This book is a rough but true story about the difficulties of being a veterinarian. But it is also a collection of touching and often humorous stories about the desperate steps we take out of love for animals. The publishing layout is saved in a4.pdf format.
