Title: Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow( My Life as a Country Vet) Binding: Hardcover Author: JanPol Publisher: GothamBooks

(A continuation in the'Doc'Carlton series) They're back again, for the third time around - the animal rescue team we met in DALLAS DOC and TEXAS DOC: healers Doc Carlton, his unpredictable partner, Dr.Rich Vest, and indispensable medical staffers Tracy and Rachel. This time, they take on a second clinic and a new vet, 'perfectionist' Mathew Horton, who matches their passion and all-out commitment to every critter. In his conversational style, Doc gives us more irresistible, behind-the-scenes glimpses into his topsy-turvy life: There's the Border collie who thrives on hypnotizing sheep; a feline's midnight surgery in a home kitchen; the movie star who wants a 'makeover' for his pet pig; the garlic-wearing, globetrotting Chihuahuas who write postcards; two mules that become a baseball legend's family; and a wayward cat who has the only cure for a horse with 'psychosomatic' issues.

256 pages. 9.21x6.22x1.18 inches. In Stock.

Ostriches with an attitude, dueling armadillos, troubled tomcats, cantankerous cows and racing mules - they're all here in the true-life stories behind the zany adventures and poignant moments that make up a practice of veterinary medicine. In a diary-like narrative, Dr.David Carlton, a native Texan with an ongoing thirty-year practice in Dallas, gives readers an irresistible peek into his topsy-turvy life through stories of his escapades with an inimitable array of clients and their engaging pets.(The first of a series in a five-book collection of down-home memoirs.)

In this first full portrait of one of the world's most beloved animal writers, a noted biographer affectionately reveals the man behind the myth, exploring his tragedies and triumphs in intimate detail. 65,000 first printing.

'Doc' Carlton's 5th book finds the Texas veterinarian at a crossroads with thoughts of simplifying life by opening a small animal practice in a small town. But Doc and his indispensable sidekick, Tracy, soon question this lifestyle change. After so many years of a 24/7 fast-paced schedule juggling trips to ranches all over Texas to help heal horses, cattle, and every creature in-between...a dream of 'slowing down' may not be for them. Doc's colorful anecdotal stories continue to ring with a down-home honesty. And after taking on the city life, our dedicated healers know they're exactly where they should be - continuing their life's calling by giving loving care and expert medical treatment to every type and size of critter who needs them.
