A Country Practice: Scenes from the Veterinary LifeChuck Shaw is a vanishing breed--an old-style veterinarian with a quarter of a century of experience who runs a "mixed practice" in rural New Hampshire, treating everything from house cats to milk cows.

But the practice is booming, and Chuck decides to take on a third associate, Erika Bruner, fresh out of veterinary school. |
