Animal doctors take care of pets-they also take care of people. Pets are the reason we find joy in life. "People always ask if I have a favorite breed, " one veterinarian says. "My answer is puppies." A three-legged rescue dog in turn rescues its owner. A beloved farm horse becomes its rider's real-life fairytale. A military K9 risks her life for her special operations team. An abandoned twelve-week-old kitten overjoys the girl who adopts her.
Here are true stories for everyone who loves animals, and every family who believes that having pets makes life worth living.
