Friend of the Flock

The two-way radio crackled out a one A.M. emergency call, sending young veterinarian John McCormack bumping down yet another Alabama dirt road to save a downed farm animal. He'd be up just as early the next day to extract the tonsils of a temperamental chihuahua and rassle a flock of sheep. In this beguiling sequel to his beloved Fields and Pastures New, McCormack relives more great moments in his career as a country animal doctor--and renews our acquaintance with the local folks as they hash over the doc's exploits at the local barbershop. Brimming with home-spun wisdom and great humor, A Friend of the Flock is a heartwarming portrait of life in the Deep South.
