"Every time we help a pet, we help a person. The classic example is the 80-year old grandma who has nothing in life but her cat. She's a widow with very limited social contact, and the cat is what connects her to life. So when we help her cat, she's really the one we're helping."
True.
Vet school teaches us how to treat animals. Life and experience teach us how to treat people. A vet can be excellent medically but never "get" the people side of things. The best vets I have known have been smart, great with medicine and surgery, but also really compassionate with the pet's people. These are the docs I admire the most.
Enjoy your pets!
