But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family.

Publisher's Summary
All Dogs Go to Kevin is a humorous and touching portrait of a veterinarian, her beloved dogs, and the lessons they impart to her along the way.
You can't always count on people, but you can always count on your dog. No one knows that better than veterinarian Jessica Vogelsang, who, with the help of three dogs, is buoyed through adolescence, veterinary school, and the early years of motherhood. Taffy, the fearsome Lhasa; Emmett, an amiable golden; and Kekoa, the neurotic senior Labrador are always by her side, offering lessons in empathy and understanding for all the oddballs and misfits who come through the vet clinic doors. Also beside her is Kevin, a human friend who lives with the joie de vivre most people only dream of having. But when tragedy strikes, Jessica is reminded that the animals we love give more than they take.

I laughed and I Cried
This book and narration has a vulnerability, an energy, and a poignancy I have rarely seen in memoirs. It's less about Kevin (who I wish I'd gotten to know a bit better), but more about dogs, about growing up, about changing, about becoming comfortable in oneself. It's the perfect mix of autobiography, of animals, and about loving, letting go, and moving on.
Well-written, well-read, and well worth your time and credit.

A Great Story for any who had lost a pet!
We recently put our 13yr old Old English Sheepdog, Harry, down. He was the 1st male dog I have ever own. Over the 13 yrs Harry was a member of of our family in every sense of what s family means. He would actually smile when he saw that you had come home to him.
His heart had gotten & his legs began to fail. But like in the story that was told so well, Harry, let us know when he had to go to heaven. This is a must read for anyone dealing with a sick or aging pet.

Even more than the title implies
Would you listen to All Dogs Go to Kevin again? Why?
Yes. As a matter of fact i'm doing it now.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The author, Doctor V.
What does Jessica Vogelsang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
You get an even better sense of "who she is" to use an overworked phrase.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Before you progress too far in life, read this book.
Any additional comments?
I think the subtitle should be changed. It is about what her three dogs taught her, but it so, so much more...the blossoming of a nerd into a veterinarian; a shy young girl into a wife, mother, and doctor; lessons about life from the animals and people she dealt with, etc.

Vet Stories
This was a very enjoyable book about the author's route to veterinary school and her practice as a vet. I had always thought about becoming a vet, but chemistry, calculus and physics got in the way of that; but I was definitely interested in veterinary medicine and the practice.
I enjoyed the anecdotes about the animals and owners she encountered in her practice, as well as her own animals. At first, I thought it would be a book more about Kevin, but although he is mentioned several times, the focus was not on him. I can also relate to the author's desire as an introvert to interact with animals as opposed to humans.
Of course, I should have known better....as an avid reader of books in the animal genre, I usually know not to read/listen to these books in public, as they are usually tear jerkers. For some reason, I forgot that in this case, and was happily walking my dog, listening to this on audio, and I get to a part where the author loses one of her dogs.....and of course, the only thing I had on me was my dog's poop bags, which (even unused) do not make a good substitute for Kleenex!!!!!!

Made me laugh and cry.
Although the vet school part of the story got a bit long, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book. And having a story read by the author is always a bonus. As a dog lover, I could identify with much of Dr. V's sentiments, and loved laughing at some of the more ridiculous exploits of both her own dogs and those of her clients.

Sorry, no
I had heard a lot about this book and was expecting a sweet, insightful book about veterinarians and dogs. Instead, it was filled with not so interesting tales of mundane events at the vets office, and virtually no insider's look in to vet school. The author reads the book, and she sounds like a cross between a chipmunk and a 6 year old child. Every time she imitated an elderly client, I wanted to scream. I really could not wait for her to stop the narration. Pass on this one.

A fresh perspective on life, vet med, and animals
This is a wonderful story of one woman's journey through life, veterinary medicine and all the animals along the way. I enjoyed her detailed personal accounts during veterinary college. Most veterinarian authors tell nothing of their educational journey to becoming a DVM. I think it's awesome that Dr. Vogelsang chose to narrate her own book. That guarantees all listeners will know exactly how the context is meant to be expressed. I wish more authors did this. This is a fresh dose of " reality" in so many aspects of the word. I can't wait for her next book!
