{"product_id":"9781894838382","title":"Mud, Sweat and Tears","description":"\u003cp\u003eMud, Sweat and Tears tells the story of Bud Ings' adventures as a rural veterinarian in the 1950s. As one of Prince Edward Island's first professionally trained veterinarians, Ings set up his practice in the eastern town of Souris before moving to Montague.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFarms were rarely close at hand, however, and the sight of Bud Ings behind the wheel of his Volkswagen Bug became a familiar one on the Island's highways and muddy back roads. And whether he was helping to deliver a calf, giving shots of penicillin to a pig, or putting down a beloved horse, Ings treated each animal- and each farmer- with dignity and respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIngs' memoir is a rich, often humorous account of his first decade as a vet, at time when there were few vacations, no modern tools of the trade, and no request too strange to attend to. It's also the story of a past era, when PEI's farms flourished and the animals were not only the backbone of the economy, but part of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ings, Bud","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Atlantic Non-Fiction","offer_id":48477585735904,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ad0363c3-1518-4b13-bc66-19208b8e1213.jpg?v=1766948178","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781894838382","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
