From the time Dr. Mark Goldstein was a little boy—even before he had his first dog—he was fascinated by creatures both domestic and wild. After graduating veterinary school at Cornell University, he became a veterinarian in clinical practice, then director of zoos in Boston and Los Angeles, then head of a progressive humane society where he advocated for animal welfare. During his extraordinary 30-year career, Dr. Mark has accrued a lifetime of experiences working with all sorts of animals and the people who care for them. Dr. Mark's life with animals taught him more than how to be a great doctor, it taught him how to live life. The stories in this book reflect those lessons; they will make you laugh and cry as they entertain and amaze you. Each real-life experience sheds light on the challenges and hard work of the talented individuals who work in the world of animal welfare. These are stories that illustrate the tremendous impact animals have on our daily lives—they are hallmarks of the sacred importance of the human-animal bond. On your journey through the exhilarating life of Dr. Mark, you'll meet some of the finned, furred, and feathered animals who offered him invaluable insights—Harold the hamster, Sasha the Siberian tiger, St. Francis the German Shepherd, Ralph the buffalo, Gus the stallion, Frank the goldfish, and many more fascinating creatures!

Spend a fascinating, fast-paced week alongside an exotic pet vet as she races to find the source of a mysterious illness that is killing scores of lovable little pets—all while dealing with the remarkable daily challenges of treating a Noah’s Ark of exotic animals and their eccentric, loving, and sometimes demanding owners. Parrots and pythons, hedgehogs and hamsters, ferrets, turtles, and pot-bellied pigs—these are just a few of the many unique pets that world-renowned veterinarian Laurie Hess sees in the course of any given day. Like the New York Times bestseller Tell Me Where It Hurts, Unlikely Companions will take you inside the daily world of a noted veterinarian as she treats the perplexing symptoms and illnesses of her animal patients. Unlikely Companions chronicles a fast-paced week in Dr. Hess’s life as she struggles to solve a mystery affecting her practice and that of vets around the country: what is killing off the sugar gliders—tiny, affectionate marsupials who look like flying squirrels and love to snuggle? All the while, it’s business as usual at her bustling hospital outside of New York City, as she performs risky surgeries, makes life-altering diagnoses, and juggles puzzling patients and their quirky owners. Laurie has learned many lessons about the importance of caring for ourselves from her unique charges and from the profound bonds she witnesses daily between people and their pets. Part memoir, part inspirational self-help, Dr. Hess’s heartwarming, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting book is a James Herriot tale for a new era, an All Creatures Great and Small that celebrates the loving connections we make as human beings with each other and with other species.
