Hey Doc: The Wonder of Animals from the Life-stories of a Texas Vet
This third edition of the series, following Dallas Doc and Texas Doc, finds 'Doc' Carlton and his medical team taking
on yet another 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 rare glimpses into their 24/7 topsy-turvy lives. 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, globe-trotting 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.

This Texas veterinarian has a way of telling down-to-earth stories that amuse me. He manages to work in some interesting facts about animals that I appreciate. Most of the stories are "feel good" stories and fairly short, so it is perfect for reading when you know you'll be interrupted at some point. While focused on animals, it also gives a glimpse into the rural life around Dallas.
You don't have to have read Carlton's other books to enjoy this one. It is recommended for people who love animals and is suited for young adults.
