For my parents, Terry and the late Jack Pugh, who taught Helen, Joel, and me
to love the Lord, work hard, and try our best.
For my wife, partner, and best friend, Ms. Jayne Moore Pugh, who taught our
three children the same ideas for life.
For our three wonderful children, Rebekah, Natalie, and Dylan, their spouses,
Brent, Aaron, and Chasity, and our four grandchildren, Ella, Eli, Layne, and Leah,
all of whom we are so very proud.
For the Lord, who has given me a multitude of blessings.
Keep the faith.
David G. Pugh
To the memory of my parents Aubrey and Arline, who taught me to always give
my best and that with opportunity comes responsibility. I hope they would be proud.
To Debra, my love and my life, who graciously agreed to sacrifice time while I tackled
another book.
To our children, Taylor (Purdue DVM 2021), Tanner (Casper College 2017, Fightin’
Texas Aggie 2019), and Kaycee (TBD 2024), who have given us many great memories
and the hope of many more to come.
Thank you to my great friend of over 30 years, David Pugh, for inviting me to
participate in this project and his never-ending work to make this book the best
it could be.
And thanks to God, through which all this is possible.
A. N. Baird
To my parents, Barbara Fechner and the late Hans Passler, for their love and emotional,
moral, and financial support. They instilled in me the work ethic, perseverance, and
desire to succeed in all tasks large or small.
To my wife Nicole and son William. It is their love and smiles that I look forward
to when I come home every day. I would be lost without you and appreciate your
support of the extracurricular activities in my career!
And to my host family, Roger, Peggy, Nathan, Nick, and Nora Borgmeyer
and their respective spouses and children, who have always treated me like their
own and have fostered my desire to become a veterinarian. They successfully turned
a city slicker into a country boy!
Thomas Passler
To my parents, John and Priscilla Abrams, who taught me, John,
and Kristy the importance of family, the value of hard work, and to always
do our best in everything.
To my husband, Jason, for always pushing me to follow my dreams
and for giving me mine.
To our two amazing children, Wyatt and Laken, who make everything worthwhile.
We are so proud of you both and thank God for you every day.
To my teacher, mentor and friend, David Pugh, for all of the wonderful veterinary
and life lessons and for all of the fun along the way. Thank you for all that you have
done to help me. I will be forever grateful and will always Keep the Faith.
