This is one of the most heart-rending and uplifting articles I have ever read. Dr Jalloh is the Mother Teresa of the Dog world - a pure hero. Aminatta is a writer of genius, in that she can present an 'issue' that reaches far in practical, moralistic and spiritual terms, in a seemingly objective style. Her own compassion is, though, not in doubt. This story has shaken me.

I agree with Vic, she has captured all the nuances of our relations with dogs and what it can mean to be a vet.
