Working as a vet is a very reasonable childhood dream. It tends to become less appealing, though, when one realizes that it's not just about petting cute animals. Still, the perks are there! We collected the evidence in pics that are beyond "Awww" to look at.

Pocket kittens. Tiny pups standing brave. It says it all. Do you work at a vet clinic? Share your pics with us. With a lot of cuteness comes a lot of responsibility!

    Ohmygodtehyresocute!!! *faints* They must be Pyrenese Mountain dogs or a similar breed. Giants when they are grown up (and fairly serious guard dogs) but the cutest plushballs imaginable when they are little. I'm very envious of Dad. I recently had the super rare privilege to cuddle a Maremanno D'Abruzzo puppy (the Italian version). I still melt every time I think of it <3

    Our German Shepherd mix hated it so much it took 4-5 people to hold him down. Every time, they thought I was exaggerating and wanted me to take him to the groomer (it was part of their business). We would give him a mild sedative to help before we took him in. He was really good for every thing else that was done to him. I think that maybe why they didn't believe me.
