Dog Gone, Back Soon is the charming sequel to The Patron Saint Of Lost Dogs, where the reader is first introduced to Dr. Cyrus Mills and the two legged and four legged residents of Eden Falls, Vermont. I enjoyed the first book so much that I was looking forward to this book to see what Cyrus was up to next. Dog Gone picks up very shortly after Patron Saint ends, so it is imperative you read Patron Saint first to fully understand and appreciate the background.
In Dog Gone, the reader is treated to the arrival of more adorable pets as well as a villain, of sorts. He runs the Healthy Paws veterinary clinic in a nearby town and has made it his mission to see Bedside Manor fail, especially when a few of their patients come to Cyrus for help.
Cyrus and Amy finally go on an official date that does not end well and the reader is taken on a journey of Cyrus battling the green-eyed monster and trying to come to terms with his feelings for Amy, while trying to do the right thing when he is mistaken for someone else.
I especially enjoy how the author uses his own remarkable veterinary skills to illuminate how Cyrus uncovers what is ailing each of his furry patients. As with the first book in the series, this story also tugs on the heartstrings. I really love how the animals bring Cyrus out of his introverted shell. He is not the same man he was when he first arrived and I love seeing the interactions between him and the animals.
I really hope to see another book in this series. I highly recommend this series if you enjoy a heartwarming story that elicits strong emotional responses filled with characters that are easy to connect and relate to.

Mr. Trout has hit upon a clever idea for his series of books. The vet returns to town and decides to continue the practice of his late father, going up against the new chain animal hospital....
Postscript: No takers after eight weeks on the shelf at the old soldiers' home (we have few readers) so I posted it for one of the five PBS comrades who have it wish listed.

Dog Gone, Back Soon by Nick Trout is the light-hearted, often funny story of Dr. Cyrus Mills, a veterinary pathologist who returns to his small home town to take over his father's clinic. The doctor treats his patients, deals with their sometimes eccentric owners, makes some mistakes but fixes them, fights the "big bad corporation", and tries to win over the girl.
