Kindest, best vet ever!

He kept his own dog at his clinic for emergency blood transfusions and to visit his patients who were nervous under his care. ❤

He also sent us a sympathy card after having to put our old BC girl down for us. I've kept that card.
He retired after 40+ yrs. We miss him.

But this is even better. A great idea that should be emulated across the country.

Veterinarians -- are you seeing this ?

It's me. I'm retired from the NAVY. So, when I see "vet," my mind immediately goes there.

It's stunning how animals are so comforting in the face of sickness or sadness. Remarkable.
