Summary

Eleven-year-old Megan has the chance to fulfill an animal lover's dream -- to be an intern at her uncle's animal emergency hospital in Colorado. In her six-week stay, Megan works closely with the dedicated team of veterinarians, including Dr. Robert Taylor, surgeon extraordinaire; the friendly Dr. Holly Knor; and exotic-animal specialist Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, all of whom appear in the book's full-color photo insert. The chapters, written from Megan's point of view, are chock-full of fascinating cases about all sorts of animals, from a wounded goose to a feisty ferret to a very special dog named Bingo. Readers' hearts will dip and rise as they witness firsthand the difficult decisions these caring vets have to make on the spot.
