    Love this for all kinds of people! That genuine interest in their field is something I look for everywhere.

    Once had a vet completely ignore me, greet my dog, and had to get a reminder from another member of the staff to realize/acknowledge that I was in the room too. Stuck with him until his retirement, he was the same until the end.

    Though he did have a checklist his wife made for him some point after that first visit, which had as its first item - and I’m quoting here because he showed it to me after I had been going to him for years

    Greet the HUMAN!

    Its been a couple years since he retired, still can’t find a vet as dedicated to animals as he was. Dogs, birds, turtles, whatever - if you could carry the animal in, he knew about it to an incredible detail.
