Dr Taylor, My son, Caleb, 16 and a Junior in high school, chose to read this book for a report. He is very interested in working with large cats someday. He focused on your story about Zelda. Thank you for the wonderful story and glimpse into the world of veterinary work. Its wonderful to have these experiences to read and encourage the kids to go for their goals of what they want to be. Thank you again Michaele' Gardner
