All Dogs Go to Kevin: Everything Three Dogs Taught Me (That I Didn't Learn in Veterinary School)
Autor Jessica Vogelsangen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iul 2016
You
can't
always
count
on
people,
but
you
can
always
count
on
your
dog.
No
one
knows
that
better
than
veterinarian
Jessica
Vogelsang.
With
the
help
of
three
dogs,
Jessica
is
buoyed
through
adolescence,
veterinary
school,
and
the
early
years
of
motherhood.
Taffy,
the
fearsome
Lhasa;
Emmett,
the
devil-may-care
Golden;
and
Kekoa,
the
neurotic
senior
Labrador,
are
always
by
her
side,
educating
her
in
empathy
and
understanding
for
all
the
oddballs
and
misfits
who
come
through
the
vet
clinic
doors.
Also
beside
her
is
Kevin,
a
human
friend
who
lives
with
the
joie
de
vivre
most
people
only
dream
of
having.
From
the
clueless
canine
who
inadvertently
reveals
a
boyfriend's
wandering
ways
to
the
companion
who
sees
through
a
new
mother's
smiling
facade,
Jessica's
stories
from
the
clinic
and
life
show
how
her
love
for
canines
lifts
her
up
and
grounds
her,
too.
Above
all,
this
book
reminds
us,
with
gentle
humor
and
honesty,
why
we
put
up
with
the
pee
on
the
carpet,
the
chewed-up
shoes,
and
the
late-night
trips
to
the
vet:
because
the
animals
we
love
so
much
can,
in
fact,
change
our
lives.

Recenzii
"With
humor,
grace
and
a
wonderfully
deft
way
with
words,
she
escorts
us
through
the
trials
of
vet
school
and
the
ups,
downs
and
surprises
of
a
small-animal
practice
in
San
Diego...The
tales
from
the
front
are
engrossing,
often
amusing,
and
always
well
told,
but
no
more
so
than
her
stories
when
there
are
no
scalpels
or
stethoscopes
around...So
descriptive
and
wonderfully
unaffected
is
Vogelsang's
writing
style,
one
imagines
even
her
case
notes
would
be
interesting
reads.
If
it
weren't
pretty
obvious
that
she's
an
excellent
vet,
we'd
probably
all
be
suggesting
she
quit
her
day
job
and
turn
to
writing
full-time.

"It's really quite trite to say "I laughed, I cried" at this book. I know it is, but I can't help it: that about sums up what I found inAll Dogs Go to Kevin. . . .This is also a book about family, friendship, untimely loss, and making dreams come fearlessly true. It contains those behind-the-scenes tales and unique client stories you expect in a book by a veterinarian. We learn an important lesson about new motherhood that's "delivered... by a Golden Retriever." And yes, if you've ever loved and lost a pet (particularly, a dog), this book will make you laugh, and you'll cry. At the very least, for sure, "All Dogs Go to Kevin" will make you SIT for awhile."—Myrtle Beach Sun News
"In a humorous yet poignant style, Vogelsang chronicles the ups and downs of life and how three beloved dogs stood steadfastly by her through childhood anxiety, postpartum depression and plenty of life changes, with encouragement and unconditional love."—Mother Nature Network
"ALL DOGS GO TO KEVIN is a delightful, funny and heartwarming tale (tail?) of the many dogs that have come through author Jessica Vogelsang's life. It also has the added bonus that Vogelsang is a vet- so she knows stuff! I laughed and recognized myself and thought of the many, many dog people I will gift this book to. ALL DOGS GO TO KEVIN is a real treat (and not the slimy kind that your dog brings into your bed)."—Julie Klam, New York Times-bestselling author ofYou Had Me at Woof
