Dr. Cyrus Mills reluctantly returns home to rural Eden Falls, Vermont, under dire personal circumstances, to revive the failing veterinary practice of his recently deceased and long estranged father. Under the wing of his new mentor, Doc Lewis, Cyrus-who was previously a reclusive pathologist-begins to learn what it takes to win the hearts of his pet patients and their owners.
Cyrus has a simple plan: restore and sell his deceased father's practice as quickly as possible and then leave the hometown that haunts him with difficult memories. His plan is soon complicated, however, as he gets more and more entrenched in the community and in his relationships with the menagerie of eccentric and endearing characters in Eden Falls-including a very pretty local waitress.
On top of this, Cyrus realizes that he may have misjudged his father and the rift that tore them apart, and if that's the case, coming to terms with the past will be the only way he can face an uncertain future.
Featuring fascinating veterinary stories straight from Trout's case files, THE PATRON SAINT OF LOST DOGS is a winsome tale of new beginnings, healing hearts, and finding your way home; and the start of what promises to be a charming series.
