Every Creature Under the Sun

By Dr. Eric W. Mendel

Every day is another adventure for Doc, an earnest veterinarian in the village of Greenside. Treating a wide variety of animals in this lively countryside, Doc confronts one animal mystery after the next. A cast of memorable characters--sharp-tongued secretary Shirley, eccentric bird owner Lulu Himmelstein, and shady cattle dealer Dutch Miller, among others--add a healthy dose of mischief, color, and chaos, but the good-natured vet takes it all in stride, taming Greenside's social tensions with small-town savvy and a healer's compassion. Every Creature Under the Sun is a warm and engaging series of tales about the daily life of a country veterinarian. Inspired by the author's four decades as a veterinarian in upstate New York and reminiscent of James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small , Eric Mendel's compilation of stories--at once rollicking, humorous, and touching--shows how our relationships with animals can illuminate the core of human nature itself.
