An Animal Life: The Beginning
"The first-year class of vet school at the University of Philadelphia is a group as varied as the animals they will be treating. But one thing unites them: a passion for their work...Fast-paced and humorous, this detailed account of a first year at vet school brims with cringe-worthy moments and rich descriptions. The witty, believable characters fumble through their relationships much as they muddle their way through their studies.Those interested in animals as well as people will find much to admire in this work.A zany and heartfelt account of life in veterinary school."  --Kirkus Reviews
