TAILS is the memoir of a young veterinarian's first year and a half of practicing small animal medicine in southern California in 1977. Upon joining the unorthodox staff at Bristol Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Gary Winters finds himself dealing with poisoned dogs, frozen cats, and flattened parakeets. Joy, surprise, and hilarious adventures abound in this touching and delightful book about pets, their owners, and the doctors who care for them.
