When Rosalie Cooper-Chase joined a veterinary practice in her mid-20s as an assistant, she found her calling. She knew she wanted to help animals more than anything, but she didn't know that she's have to wade through ankle-deep mud, talk her way past packs of farm dogs, and deal with guard donkeys to do so. Rosalie tells her tales of veterinary practice--heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking--with simple honesty and unflinching detail. Her love of the animals she tries to help is always obvious, but it is her deep respect for cows that makes them come alive as individuals, each worthy of consideration and care--even the lame bull with a nasty disposition. Whether delivering newborns or castrating young bull calves, Rosalie brings insight, compassion, and a sense of humor to ever situation. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll grow to appreciate the life of a veterinarian.
