Don't Bite the Doctor

<p><strong>Real doctors treat more than one species.</strong></p><p><strong>At least that's what veterinarian Jill Bennet tells herself.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>On any given day she may find herself doctoring dogs cats bunnies birds horses pigs or any other furry or feathered patient who crosses her path-striving daily to deliver compassion and competence to all God's creatures in accordance with Colossians 3:23. Now with over forty years of practice under her belt Jill reflects back to her time as a new young veterinarian in the early eighties-a time when women veterinarians were just beginning to become a presence among the previously male-dominated profession.</p><p><br></p><p>Out in the real world Jill finds herself in situations never covered in veterinary school. It is a journey of learning and laughter as Jill contends with a variety of animal patients and their eclectic humans attached to the other end of the leash (and the checkbook) as well as less-than-helpful co-workers. Interwoven into this mix of new experiences is her budding romance with the owner of the sock-eating Labrador Retriever. <em>Don't Bite the Doctor</em> promises to bring smiles and tears to anyone who has ever been owned by an animal.</p>
