Back Seat Advice

For almost forty years, Dr. Michael High had a front-row seat to witness the relationships between pets and those who care for them through his veterinary practice. Back Seat Advice chronicles just some of the stories that touched his heart, from the class guinea pig with a tumour on its eye, to an Irish Setter who took a dislike to Michael’s ministrations. The undeniable connection between humans and animals is fully explored through these thoughtful recollections. With hindsight, Michael reflects on the failure of bad decisions as well as the success of good ones, and the split-second choices that have to be made in the best interests of our furry friends.

Back Seat Advice is a collection of funny, tragic, and heartwarming tales that give a behind-the-scenes look at life as a busy veterinarian.
