Tales of the colourful characters both animal and human that cross paths with "The vet" in the wild north west of New Zealand. This book focuses on the companion animals, the emergencies that befall a myriad of different shaped and aged pets. These are the random, various and sometimes hilarious problems he has to fit in around the constant clamour of farm calls in a busy veterinary practice. At times hilarious, poignant, crazy and educational. For any person who has a pet, or an interest in animals, rural life or veterinary practice, these stories are full of personality plus. And that is just the animals! Set in a landscape of remote beauty that breeds resilient people and a great sense of community. This is an opportunity to get an insiders look at the life of a 'dinkum kiwi'.
