Tell Me Where It Hurts by Dr Nick trout

ell Me Where it Hurts focuses on a day in the life of veterinarian Dr Nick Trout. With a wry and winning tone, he takes you on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey to get to know his patients and offers up sometimes hilarious, at times sad, but always delightful anecdotes about cuddly (or not-so-cuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate and demanding owners.

You'll meet Sage, a critically ill German shepherd, and his owner, a recent widower who relies on his dog for comfort; a chihuahua who is more Hannibal Lecter than cuddly pooch; baying beagles and snapping schnauzers; and a long-haired cat called Snowball who eats more than cat food.

Written with wisdom and humour, a nice insight into the life of a vet.  He gets a bit off topic at times and diverts into another story before getting back to where he started.
