DR. SARAH BOSTON is a veterinary surgical oncologist and an associate professor of surgical oncology at the University of Florida. From age six, Boston knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. She has practiced veterinary medicine in various parts of Canada, the U.S., and New Zealand. She is a former president of the Veterinary Society of Surgical Oncology. She lives in Gainesville, Florida, with her husband, who is a large animal veterinarian, their dog Rumble, and cat Romeow. Lucky Dog is her first book.
What a remarkable book — both howlingly funny and deeply moving.
This veterinary oncologist’s story of looking after dogs and other
animals, and looking after herself after her own cancer diagnosis,
taught me volumes about illness, healthcare, and love. Lucky Dog
shows how much we have to learn from the animals in our lives and
from those who care for them.

Your Life Book Club*

unexpected journey and spend time with some wonderful dogs along
the way.
