True Confessions of a Veterinarian

This is an enjoyable and enlightening book. The tales are short, funny, educational, and personal. Anyone who loves animals will love this book. I hope there is a followup book with more stories.

I so enjoyed this book

I have so enjoyed reading Dr. Witiak's book. It has brought giggles, tears, and insight into the field of veterinary medicine. This passionate doctor shows his love for his patients and their owners through cleverly written snippets of interactions. His writing reminds me of James Herriot, one of my favorite authors, who wrote about his life as a veterinarian. It is a compliment when some of his pet owners say, "We wish you were our family's doctor." Truly a delightful book!

It's about love

Gene Witiak's TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A VETERINARIAN reveals him to be a caring and insightful person. Clearly, he cares about both animals and people, has lots of empathy for both, understands their strengths and weaknesses and how to maximize his skills to advance their welfare. This book is delightfully written with an excellent blend of humor and seriousness. A great read!

Outstanding

Gene Witiak has been my personal veterinarian for 36 years. He is very fine man. I was thrilled when I heard he was writing a book. The book is full of stories both happy and sad about his lifes work of over forty years. The book also has many funny moments. Anyone who has every owned a pet or is an animal lover should read this book.

True Confessions

Dr. Gene's years of experience with people and animals gave birth to this wonderful collection of heartwarming "tails" and valuable advice. It goes from advice on a new pet to personal stories of his family and pets. I laughed in places and cried in others. I think all pet owners and pet lovers would relate to one or more of the touching stories in this book.
