Lucky Dog is a hilarious and heartwarming memoir by a renowned
veterinary oncologist who tells us what we can learn about health
care and ourselves from our most beloved pets. What happens when a
veterinary surgical oncologist (laymen’s term: cancer surgery
doctor) thinks she has cancer herself? Enter Sarah Boston: a vet
who suspects a suspicious growth in her neck is thyroid cancer.
From the moment she uses her husband’s portable ultrasound
machine to investigate her lump — he’s a vet, too — it’s
clear this will not be your typical cancer memoir. She takes us on
a hysterical and thought-provoking journey through the human health
care system from the perspective of an animal doctor. Weaving funny
and poignant stories of dogs she’s treated along the way, this is
an insightful memoir about what the human medical world can learn
from the way we treat our canine counterparts. Lucky Dog teaches us
to trust our instincts, be our own advocates, and laugh while
we’re doing it.
