Never turn your back on an Angus cow : my life as a country vet / Dr. Jan Pol with David Fisher.
"Dr. Pol shares his amusing and often poignant tales from his four decades as a vet in rural Michigan. [He's] not your typical veterinarian: born and raised [in the] Netherlands on a dairy farm, he is the star of Nat Geo Wild's hit show The Incredible Dr. Pol and has been treating animals in rural Michigan since the 1970s. Dr. Pol's more than 20,000 patients have ranged from white mice to 2600-pound horses and everything in between"--Provided by publisher.
