I Never Went to Work

By John A. Blair

I Never Went To Work is a collection of stories
about life as a small animal veterinarian in the heart
of the Midwest. Through this lens, Dr. John A.
Blair shares his passion for animals and their human
counterparts, his love of medicine and surgical
technique, along with his desire to teach us about
caring for these creatures that so greatly enrich our
lives. These stories represent the human-animal
companionship bond to its fullest. We should all be
so lucky to never go to work.
