When Dr. Cyrus Mills returned home after inheriting his estranged father's veterinary practice, The Bedside Manor for Sick Animals, the last thing he wanted was to stay in Eden Falls, Vermont, a moment longer than absolutely necessary. However, the previously reclusive veterinarian pathologist quickly found that he actually enjoyed treating animals and getting to know the eccentric residents of the tiny provincial town-especially an alluring waitress named Amy.

So Cyrus is now determined to make Bedside Manor thrive. Not an easy goal, given that Healthy Paws, the national veterinary chain across town, will stop at nothing to crush its mom-and-pop competitor. And the rival vet practice isn't Cyrus's only competition; a handsome stranger shows up out of nowhere who clearly has a mysterious past with Amy. To top it off, Cyrus finds himself both the guardian of a very unique orphaned dog and smack in the middle of serious small town drama.

This charming sequel to The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs is a wild and delightful ride through one jam- packed week, where Cyrus must figure out how to outsmart the evil veterinary conglomerate, win back Amy's heart, solve several tricky veterinary cases, find a home for an orphaned dog, and detangle himself from an absurd case of mistaken identity. Dog Gone, Back Soon brims with Nick Trout's trademark humor, charm, and captivating animal stories, and is proof that all dogs, lost or not, on four feet or two, deserve a second chance.

Nick Trout graduated from veterinary school at the University of Cambridge in 1989.

After fifteen years, Dr. Cyrus Mills returns to rural Vermont to inherit the Bedside Manor for Sick Animals, the failing veterinary practice of his recently deceased and long-estranged father. Cyrus, a veterinary pathologist far more comfortable with cold clinical facts than living, breathing animals (not to mention their quirky, demanding owners), intends to sell the practice and get out of town as fast as he can.

Then his first patient—a down-on-her-luck golden retriever named Frieda Fuzzypaws—wags her way through the door, and suddenly life gets complicated. With the help of a black Labrador gifted in the art of swallowing underwear, a Persian cat determined to expose her owner’s lover as a gold digger, and the allure of a feisty, pretty waitress from the local diner, Cyrus gets caught up in a new community and its endearing residents, both human and animal. Sensing he may have misjudged the past, he begins to realize it’s not just his patients that need healing.

The patron saint of lost dogs is a winsome tale of new beginnings, forgiveness, and the joy of finding your way home.

Dr. Nick Trout signa Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing, and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon.

"This is a wonderful memoir full of humor and compassion in the fast paced world of modern medicine at Angell Animal Medical Center. Dr. Trout has a thoughtful companionable writing style as he tells us about his furry patients and their concerned, zany, and sometimes demanding owners. “Part ER, part House, part Dog Whisperer,” the book jacket promises. Nick lets us step into a day in his life when he is awakened in the middle of the night to save a desperately ill dog. It is quite a ride. Sixty-three percent of homes in America have a pet. Our animals are members of our immediate families. Nick Trout is a modern day James Herriot with more technology but the same warm and concerned bedside manner." (christiguc)… (més)
