There is something so fascinating and wonderful when it comes to tales of animals and even more so when they are non-fiction. Animal surgeon, Nick Trout, takes the reader through a hectic and not so normal day as a surgeon. Starting in the early hours of the morning with unusual call to ending his day after 10pm. With stories of fellow vets and his own, Trout spins an amazing tale of animals, their owners, and the teams that help to take care of our pets and at times us. 
 If you are an animal lover this is a must but beware that he does go on side stories as to take the reader away from the present and into the past. If you can look past that then this is a book that should be read.
