While You're Here, Doc: Farmyard Adventures of a Maine Veterinarian

An excellent collection of stories by Dr. Bradford Brown. He shares his adventures as a Maine veterinarian in a vivid, enchanting way. I can't put this book down. If you love animals and the heroic stories of saving them, this book is for you. You won't be disappointed.

I discovered this book from a review in the Maine Sunday Telegram. "Small farms and their close, personal way of living... come alive for us in Brown's humorous, compassionate stories of struggling farm life." You get first-hand accounts of the doc trying to save an ox that's choking on a too large potato or rescuing a cow from a love-struck moose. It's all told with enthusiasm and wry humor.

I highly recommend this book. It belongs in my collection along with all my James Herriot books! It is heartwarming and very funny. Also, Dr. Brown explains certain animal diseases and conditions in an down to earth, easy to understand way. I am a farmer and I found that I understand several diseases of our animals even better now. I only wish the book was longer. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and I was very sorry to get to the last page. I wanted to read more of those wonderful animal stories. I would like to thank Dr. Brown for writing such a great book, and I sure hope he considers writing another one.

I'm so glad I bought this book! I have read it twice...bet you can't read it just once. Get a copy it is great for all ages!

This book is such a great read, full of humor and amazing life experience! Doctor Brown has a genius sense of humor and a wonderful heart. This book will have you laughing out loud but it is also an intelligent peek at the life of a very gifted man. Don't pass this book up, get a copy for everyone you know and get it in your libraries!
