Dr. Brock gives you an intimate look into his small-town and big-hearted perspective on life, animals, and their owners. His unique perspective and tales of doctoring beloved pets, cantankerous livestock, and occasionally their owners will make you smile, laugh, cry, and evoke every other emotion under the sun. Review: A DELIGHTFUL BOOK YOU'LL LOVE! - This is a book that will have you laughing out loud one moment and tears flowing the next with the true stories told by a west Texas veterinarian. I've given it as a gift to people who have loved it and then they have given it to others. Since I grew up in this part of Texas and then taught school in the "Middle of Nowhere" I knew Dr. Brock and took my pet to his office too. He treats all kinds of animals and if you know west Texas, there's always something going on and a tale to tell! Bo Brock is a great story teller! Review: This book made me smile, laugh out loud, and sniffle. Excellent! - This was a "read in one day" book! Dr. Brock's patients are the creatures of western Texas from cows, pigs, and horses to pets, including a pudgy poodle who never ate "people food" -- it isn't food until you cook it, right? Full of life lessons (Never Put a Pig in Your Mouth, and Other Wise Things Granny Taught You), gentle humor (never a mean-spirited tale), and insights, this book made me smile, laugh out loud, and sniffle. Be warned that it is like eating chips; you won't want to stop with just one story. It also gave me a new perspective on the Texas Panhandle and the people who live here. These are the working people behind the ranches who care about their working horses, the rodeo competitors who know how fast their horse should be, and the people who are neighbors. If you like animals and the folks who have animals, I think you'll fall in love with this book as I did. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #415,042 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Rural Life Humor #281 in Doctors & Medicine Humor #332 in Humor Essays (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,059 Reviews | ## Images ![Crowded in the Middle of Nowhere: Tales of Humor and Healing from Rural America - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nJSkD3jXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A DELIGHTFUL BOOK YOU'LL LOVE! *by L***J on February 18, 2024* This is a book that will have you laughing out loud one moment and tears flowing the next with the true stories told by a west Texas veterinarian.

Humorous and heartfelt, Dr. Brock shares successes, mishaps, and the challenges of practicing. I have shared this book with my mother, father-in-law, and, most recently, my teenage daughter. We have all loved it and highly recommend this book and its thought-provoking narrative to anyone who finds joy and comfort in animals.
