Animal Radio® show

Summary: Going to the Vet can be a traumatic experience for your pets. Following Animal Radio Veterinary Correspondent, Dr. Marty Becker's instructions can make the Vet actually a fun place to go.

He's was offered one million dollars to write a cathartic book about the experience on spec. Not bad for his first major published novel.
