Episode notes
Veterinarian, author and exotic pet expert Dr. Doug Mader joins Ella and Alexis today to share some amazing stories, ruminate on the reality of the human-animal bond and chat about his incredible new book The Vet at Noah’s Ark: Stories of Survival from an Inner-City Animal Hospital. Dr Doug really has seen it all, from Emus to Alligators and even a fancy Eel! He proves that animal care is inextricably linked with people care, and his fascinating and important work puts him at the heart of his community- and ours! Pour yourself a hot drink in your new CC mug because this episode is what this pod is all about- and prepare to smile and maybe shed a wee tear!
