Today we had a very special visitor. Sean came to visit Brookside to "Be A Veterinarian For A Day". He learned how to do an exam on a pet, watched in surgery and observed a day in the life at Brookside. We are so happy he could visit and so appreciate seeing his excitement over veterinary medicine. Wishing him the best in his journey to become a veterinarian one day!
