I really enjoyed this, quirky, funny and at times sad this reminded me a lot of a 70s version of the James Herriot All creatures great and small books.
Bruce was a great narrator and told his story well, from his background and life in Canada and his time London working as a young, new vet.
I loved his sense of humour and how he coped with getting to know our British character and sense of humour.
This was definitely a great read and lived upto the blurb.
Along the way we also meet some great characters in his line of work both four legged and two legged.
The only thing that did make me squirm was the descriptions of how animals were viewed in society at this time, a lot of owners and sometimes the vets didn't seem to have all that much empathy or feelings for the animals they treated.
Although Bruce seemed to understand that they have feelings and need to be treated with respect.
All in all I did enjoy this.
