Animal Person

Linda's an animal person who puts her money where her mouth is, owns a ranch outside the city and takes in kittens, puppies, birds that fall out of nests, Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs acquired as pets then let free to roam the streets. But Linda is also a doctor with a practice in the city that enables her to pay a vet and workers at her ranch. Clients come from miles around to her clinic with the big sign Women’s Reproductive Health. The sign also says everyone is welcome but when two go in the tiny one gets left behind. Donal Mahoney
