Dr. Nick Trout who recently completed his latest book, Ever By My Side, spoke with Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on L.A. Talk Radio.
Trout graduated from veterinary school at the University of Cambridge in 1989. He is a Diplomate of the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Surgeons and is a staff surgeon at the prestigious Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston.
Other books by the author include the New York Times bestseller, Tell Me Where It Hurts and Love is the Best Medicine. He has also been a contributing columnist for The Bark and Prevention magazines .
Trout is a keen runner, a passionate reader and an advocate for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Today, he lives in Massachusetts with his wife, two daughters and their two dogs, Meg, a yellow Labrador, and Sophie, a Jack Russell terrier.
By taking readers behind the scenes, the bestselling author introduces them to the heartwarming world of veterinary medicine. He also shares heartrending stories about pets.
In Ever By My Side, he turns the lens inward to offer a funny, moving, and intimate memoir about how the pets he has had throughout his life have shaped him into the son, husband, father, and doctor he is today.
Using his relationships with those beloved animals to tell his life story, Trout shares the profound lessons he’s learned about friendship, loyalty, and resilience. The result is a moving story that speaks not just to animal lovers, but to any reader who appreciates the bonds we have with our loved ones, be they animal or human, and the lengths to which we go to nurture those bonds.
He waxes nostalgic about his boyhood in a working-class British suburb, where a large German shepherd named Patch was the perfect companion to a scrawny, bookish boy in a neighborhood full of bullies. He also writes about his other relationships with people, including the one with his father, the man who nurtured his dream of becoming a vet, even though he couldn’t have imagined the career would lead his only son 3,000 miles away.
