PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

A veterinarian's fight for his patients and staff lays bare the power of the human-animal bond.


As one of the few exotic animal experts in California during his time running Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Doug Mader was just as likely to be treating a lion as a house cat. In The Vet at Noah's Ark, his amazing protection of animals-from cats and dogs to emus, skunks, snakes, foxes, monkeys, and a host of other exotic animals--is recounted with all the thrill of an ER medical drama. And not only must Dr. Mader fight to protect the vulnerable animals in his care, but also his human staff navigating the social unrest of Los Angeles in the early 1990s. This beloved, multi-award winning volume from a veterinary hero often praised as a modern day James Herriot is a captivating tribute to our animal friends and the true stories of a doctor who goes above and beyond to protect them.
