From the childhood moment he chased an injured golden retriever through his neighborhood in Brownsville, Texas, to announcing at seven, fresh off watching The Black Stallion, that he would become a veterinarian… to eventually becoming a high-end vet serving wealthy clients in San Diego before the recession hit and pushed him into municipal shelter work in Modesto, where he was euthanizing dozens of animals by 10 AM. Dr. Kwane shares every chapter with unfiltered honesty about how it shaped him. How a quick 7-Eleven coffee stop became a $3 act of compassion, and man's \"thank you for not ignoring me,\" became the seed that grew into Project Street Vet. Through it all, Dr. Kwane stays grounded, compassionate, and funny, even when the stories get heavy. And yes, we get into social media, misconceptions about homeless pet owners, and why walking an encampment in Oakland became \"one of the best days\" of a veteran journalist's life. Dr. Kwane's Coffee Order: Straight Black Coffee Dog: Cora Thank you for sharing to help get our adoptable dog of the week a loving home!
