Exotic Tails

Exotic Tails shares the humorous, dreadful, and heartwarming stories of one man's dogged determination to follow his dreams. Dr. Metz recounts his unlikely journey from being a young boy frightened of even a fluffy puppy to becoming a skilled veterinarian who treats and cares for a wild, exotic, and domestic medley of animals and companion pets. Metz has countless stories to tell with a cast of unforgettable characters: treating a Bengal tiger named Princess and an elephant with conjunctivitis; rescuing a napping boa constrictor caught in a guitar; reviving a ferret found in a freezer, and of course, a circus of curious dogs, frightened kitties, injured birds, and sickly fish.
