New York Times bestselling author Nick Trout has captivated audiences with his books that take us behind the scenes into the heartwarming—and sometimes heartrending—world of veterinary medicine. In a perfect follow-up to his first two books, he turns his lens inward and offers a funny, moving, and thoughtful, memoir about the animals he's had all his life. Nostalgic, warm, and insightful, Ever By My Side is about the power of animals to shape our lives, to teach us, and to bear witness to our struggles, triumphs, hopes, and fears.

      Listening to EVER BY MY SIDE will evoke equal amounts of happiness and sadness for anyone who has ever shared life with a dog. Stories of dogs and the people who love them brighten Trout's wonderful memoir of his life as a veterinarian and lifelong dog owner. Narrator Simon Vance describes the English countryside where Trout raised his four-legged companions. The dogs are not always perfect, but they're real. And it's that veritas that makes this book sound like Trout wrote it as much about his listeners' lives as his own. Listeners will laugh . . . cry . . . cheer--and be inspired to hug their dogs within an inch of their lives. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Veterinarian Trout (Tell Me Where It Hurts) has a deep love of animals. From the time of his early childhood in England, dogs were always part of the familyâwith all the inherent ups and downs. As an adult, Trout decides to move his practice to America, where he falls in love, gets married, and has his first cat (gasp!), the rough and tumble Reggie. Add to this a child, and more dogs, which teaches Trout, though his dealings with pets both at home and in the office, valuable lessons about life, loyalty, and love. With his second book Trout shows a practiced hand at narrative. These tales function well as heartwarming stand-alone stories, yet coalesce into a satisfying, complete memoir. Pet owners will be instantly captivated, empathizing and amused by Trout's stories of dog antics, feline aloofness, and the indescribable joy of sharing one's life with the animals.
