Pets in a pickle
Drawing on his own experiences of working as a vet, Malcolm Welshman brings to life a wealth of colorful characters--including the formidable practice receptionist, Beryl, with her one steely eye--and an ark's worth of marvelous animals. As enchanting as it is funny, this wonderful story will delight any animal fan. When Paul Mitchell arrives for his first day's work at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital, he never expects this. On his very first day, he is bitten by a feisty hamster, but this is a mere prelude to a cavalcade of hilarious--and often painful--encounters with fish, flesh, and fowl.
