Prone to cooing for hours over fluffy kittens and cute puppies?
Consider yourself an animal lover? Thinking of owning a pet? Fancy a
career as a vet?

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT before you read Josh Artmeier's hilarious and
timely rant about the way humans think we are fond of animals.

Definitely not for the romantic - cats bite, defaecate, urinate and
discharge their anal glnads as defence/attack mechanisms, and they also
scratch. Many cat lovers are simply delusional!

Doggy types who drool over their rare-breed pooches also get a grilling -
every deviation from the body plan and psychology of the ancestral wolf
brings its own set of problems.

Nick Thorpe in the Sunday Times, December 24, 2006
A darkly humorous A-Z of a world scarcely hinted at on Super Vets or Animal Hospital...
Beneath [the] cynicism lies a deep-seated idealism...The antidote to Herriot.

Melanie Reid in The Herald, October 24, 2006
A quite wicked little book of veterinarian cynicism...a blackly
humorous account of life as an animal doctor...

Veterinary Times, November 13, 2006
A vet breaking ranks... The type of story that is rarely aired in
the public domain...

Alex Dickson on Radio Clyde 2, November 29, 2006
Sneaky wee messages... Very, very amusing...
It's for folk who like animals and for folk who don't. It's a goodie!
