Fiction. Literature. Romance. "In his latest novel, Gethers spins a modern tale of betrayal and reconciliation, failure, forgiveness, and family...A melancholy yet redeeming story of life and love, loss and redemption.". HTML:

A wise, witty, sometimes heartbreaking love story about a pet doctor who discovers that the best relationships are often the most surprising

Dr. Robert Heller is one of New York City's leading veterinarians, and his "Ask Dr. Bob" advice column is hugely popular among pet-lovers. Yet Dr. Bob understands animals a lot better than people, and he could definitely use some advice of his ownâ??especially when it comes to his family. His father is angry and controlling, his mother is nearly invisible, and his brother seems bent on destroying not just his own life but the lives of everyone around him. As for Bob's wife, Anna, she is all but perfect, assuming one can ignore her own colorful but deeply dysfunctional clan. And then, just when Bob thinks he's figured out what it takes to thrive in the human world as comfortably as he does among cats, dogs, and hamsters, tragedy strikes. How can he go on living when he is suddenly, soul killingly alone?

In previous books, Peter Gethers has written charming true tales about what a man can learn from a beloved cat. Now he ventures into new territory with a funny, touching novel about a pet doctor who finds out what it means to be human and what a family must do to truly become a family. Full of unforgettable characters, Ask Bob will remind everyone that sometimes we need a lot more than love to make the world go aroundâ??but that love is an awfully good place to start… (mais)

It's not a book about a vet, it's a book about a man who happens to be a vet.

I found it more depressing than witty, but definitely heartbreaking.

This book left me sad and confused after reading it. I guess I don't get why Bob made the life choices he did. Dungeness you just want to shake him and tell him to smarten up ( )

I really didn't expect to like this book once I received it in the mail. I'd read a few pages into it here and there and finally decided to just make myself give it a chance. Wow. I haven't been brought to tears by a book in quite awhile. Not just tears but sobbing. Unfortunately this very sad part was read on a break at work and it was hard to recover! I am glad I read this book, even through it's heart break. ( )

This turned out to be an enjoyable book. It is about Dr Robert Heller, a veterinarian in New York City. It is about his life, loves, losses, and building a new life. I enjoyed the letters at the beginning of the chapters a lot. It was very intense at the end and I found myself in tears. ( )
