Purchase options and add-ons

He's operated on whales, administered antibiotics to a group of performing lions, barely escaped alive after treating unpredictable chimps, cared for every imaginable household pet - and most of all, enjoyed every minute of it. Well-known veterinarian, cartoonist, writer, and one of the world's leading authorities on horse behavior - Dr. Robert M. Miller shares his memoirs of a life filled with all the joys and tragic moments that caring for, and loving, animals brings. Now the vet known for his hilarious cartoons brings the same delicious humor and warm compassion to a distinctly American book in the Herriot tradition: a story that will touch your heart, and remind you of why our bond with animals is so special."

Linda Gills-King "What I Think"

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I love vet medicine stories and love all the books by Dr. James Herriot. At first I put this book aside, then, while camping I came across it on my kindle and decided this would be a good book to read while camping. You know the kind, I will not have to concentrate on it much and I can pick it up, and put it down easily and not lose my place much. Boy, was I wrong. I always like to read the preface to see if I want to hang with a book. Would you believe there was my fav vet, Dr. James Herriot whose books I have read over and over. I get the same big laughs every time I take part in his adventures. I have not found a vet book to compare with his stories until now. Dr. Miller,s stories bring you right into the action. It is hard to pick a fav story but I think the chimpanzee saga was the best. I started reading. This morning and had 5 hours and some few minutes to the end of the book (the new Kindles have that now) and at 11:35 pm I had 42 minutes left to finish but couldn't hold my eyes open any more. And, this is the first time I have ever been inspired to write a book review because I thought Dr. Miller would understand if it didn't make to good a sense after all of the situations he has experienced in his practice. Lol

Yea, We Treat Aardvarks by Robert M. Miller DVM

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is well written, anecdotal, short book describing some of the situations in which a veterinarian can find himself when dealing with a variety of animals and the humans who are associated with their care. The humor is pervasive and gentle in nature although it is also mixed with stories of potentially dangerous consequences. I appreciated the forthright descriptions and bits of education which helped give the reader a more complete understanding of some of the situations. Much the same style as the writings of James Harriot.

Must read for animal lovers

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020

After James Herriott, RMM is my favorite veterinary author. These stories are memorable both because of the amazing content and because they are so well written. Highly recommended for all animal lovers.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014

Dr. Miller is a very good writer, and from his writings, obviously an excellent veterinarian. I loved reading about his adventures establishing a practice and practicing at a time where things were very different with respect to exotic animal husbandry. Reading about pioneering adventures in practice with cetaceans was fascinating. It makes me wish I could have worked with Dr Miller in those early days! Dr Miller"s care and compassion shows through in his writing. This is a great book by a great veterinarian and writer -- and cartoonist - I am inspired to get some books of his cartoon work from the sampling in this book.

but fun when we took our bikes and could coast all ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

I grew up in Ventura county and spent many long summer days walking from Oxnard to T-Oaks. The Conejo grade was always a challenge, but fun when we took our bikes and could coast all the way down. Yeah it was along ways, but Jockey Mead's Meadowbrook Plunge was the only accessible swimming pool in the whole area. For the most part we stayed away from the wild animal park, which in my day was known as Clyde Beatty's Wild Animal Park. Always afraid a lion would get lose, or something else. Nostalgia from this book was a fun go around for me. I'm glad he wrote this story, and glad for the memories.

American James Herriott!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

The only negative thing I can say is the format left a lot to be desired, downloaded to my Kindle Fire...luckily the story more than made up for it! I have attended Dr. Miller's lectures, and he is as entertaining in print as he is in person! Of course I am in the veterinary field, and I will read just about any book containing real life stories of real life veterinarians! This is good, you will nto regret purchasing this book!

Great book ... inexcusable proofreading.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a five star book with by far the worst proofreading I've ever seen. It's not just annoying, it's infuriating.

As to the book, Miller is possibly unique in his experience, and he's an excellent storyteller. I would highly recommend the book to anybody with even a vague interest in animals or veterinary medicine, especially Herriot fans looking for something like yet completely different ... but they'd better have the patience of a saint when it comes to formatting errors and mis-spellings.

A Fascinating Veterinary Practise

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is an enjoyable read from first to last page. The doctor's patients varied from farm animal, through pets and also wild animals such as the big cats. He is an excellent doctor and does his best (which is excellent) by every patient.
I was amazed by the variation in his patients as they also included the sea mammals of an ocean park. A reader reaches the last page of the book wanting more.

After reading the amazon.com reviews I almost didn't buy this because they said they couldn't read the captions on the cartoons. It wasn't easy, but I could, so no doubt some of you will also be able to. Definitely a fun book with some very interesting info. Highly recommended for those with an interest in other life forms

Fascinating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

A Californian James Herriot. This is a really interesting book written a while ago (James Herriot wrote the preface) about the authors practice in 1950's and 1960's California. A compassionate and intellegent account of the people and animals he met and treated, including a bison who had a copy of the New York Times removed from his stomach and Daryl the Twentieth Century fox.
The only problem is that I read the Kindle edition of this and it has a lot of blank pages between chapters and a lot of inappropriate hyphens in the middle of words which was very annoying.
