LAURIE HESS with SAMANTHA ROSE
Unlikely Companions Mysterious Tales from the Life of an Exotic Animal Doctor
“To this contemporary James Herriot, the exotic is the everyday. You will be swept up in Dr. Hess’s race to find a cure that will save dying animals.”—Dr. Marty Becker, “America’s Veterinarian”
W
hether it’s an umbrella cockatoo who’s not eating, a depressed chinchilla, a pregnant potbellied pig, or a ferret
possibly needing surgery, exotic animal vet Laurie Hess is at the front lines with some remarkable pets—and their equally eccentric, dedicated, and sometimes demanding owners. Following a week in Dr. Hess’s life as she tries to uncover the source of an unknown ailment killing some of her most vulnerable patients, Unlikely Companions is an All Creatures Great and Small with a mysterious twist that includes a special message about managing our most important relationships— those with our friends, coworkers, children, spouses, and ourselves.
“Dr. Hess takes every day as it comes and treats whatever enters her office with compassion, and knowledge, and sometimes even humor.” —Martha Stewart
