Tell Me Where It Hurts

Any responsible fur(or feather, or scale)parent will tell you that their vet is probably their best friend. For a lot of pet owners, if something goes wrong with our pets, they're the first people we turn to; I'm pretty sure my mom has our vet on speed dial, especially so since one of our dogs is already pretty old.

Which is what makes this book such an interesting read: it's a behind-the-scenes look at the things that go on in a vet clinic, and insight into the things that go on in a vet's head when they look after our pets. While such subject matter is usually pretty interesting on its own, what makes this particular memoir especially readable is Trout's dry British humor, and his obvious and sincere love of his job and the animals that he cares for.
