A chronicle of the daily life of Bondi vet Chris Brown. Chris is a country boy who grew up with a menagerie of pets and now, along with his failed farm dog, Rusty, has found himself working in a busy urban environment at Bondi caring for all creatures great and small. The book tells Chris's story along with the funny, zany and sometimes heart-breaking tales of his patients and their owners. Dr Brown is on call 24 hours a day for emergency calls, and a typical day can see him treat anything from dogs with cancer to a penguin with a cold.
