Interview With Nick Trout

By Allen Cardoza


Dr. Nick Trout who recently completed his latest book, Ever By My Side, spoke with Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on L.A. Talk Radio.

Trout graduated from veterinary school at the University of Cambridge in 1989. He is a Diplomate of the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Surgeons and is a staff surgeon at the prestigious Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston.

He is the author of two other books, the New York Times bestseller Tell Me Where It Hurts and Love is the Best Medicine and has been a contributing columnist for The Bark and Prevention magazines .

An avid reader and a passionate advocate for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Trout also loves running. Married with two daughters, he lives in Massachusetts. Apart from his wife and daughters, the "family" also includes two dogs, Sophie, a Jack Russell terrier and Meg, a yellow Labrador.

The secret to the authors success is the way he introduces readers to a behind-the-scenes view of a Vet's life. He shares heartwarming, as well heartrending stories, about veterinary medicine.

In Ever By My Side, he turns the lens inward to offer a funny, moving, and intimate memoir about how the pets he has had throughout his life have shaped him into the son, husband, father, and doctor he is today.

A moving story that speaks to animal lovers and any reader who appreciates the bonds we have with our loved ones, Trout describes the lengths we go to nurture those bonds. Whether animal or human, his stories of relationships share the profound lessons he's learned about friendship, loyalty, and resilience.

Nostalgic about his boyhood in a working-class British suburb, where a large German shepherd named Patch was the perfect companion to a bookish boy in a neighborhood with bullies, he also writes about his other relationships with people, including the one with his father, the man who nurtured his dream of becoming a vet, even though he couldn't have imagined the career would lead his only son 3,000 miles away.
