Short Synopsis
In this charming sequel to The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs, Dr. Cyrus Mills must figure out how to outsmart a veterinary conglomerate, find a home for an orphaned dog, and detangle himself from an absurd case of mistaken identity.

Full Synopsis
When Dr. Cyrus Mills returned home after inheriting his estranged father's veterinary practice, the last thing he wanted was to stay in Eden Falls, Vermont. However, the previously reclusive veterinarian pathologist quickly found that he actually enjoyed treating animals and getting to know the eccentric residents of the tiny provincial town—especially an alluring waitress named Amy.

So Cyrus is now determined to make Bedside Manor thrive. Not an easy goal, given that Healthy Paws, the national veterinary chain across town, will stop at nothing to crush its mom-and-pop competitor. To top it off, Cyrus finds himself both the guardian of a very unique orphaned dog and smack in the middle of serious small-town drama.
