Barking Big: A Veterinarian's Inspiring Story of Perseverance

By: Dan Castillo

Dan Castillo recalls the unusual path he took to become a veterinarian in Barking Big. He recalls his early childhood as a wild youth growing up New York and explores his familial connections to the Dominican Republic, where he vacationed. It was there that he went to veterinarian school, where classes were taught in Spanish. He lived through two elections in the Dominican Republic, where the entire family would stay up all night surrounded by armed guards. They'd wait for the vote count and hope no one had the stupidity to try to overthrow the government. He also shares his love story with Ellen, an ICU technician that he knew for years before they began dating. The joke was that she stalked him all those years and he would decline her advances because he was above that. While studying, he worked with all types of animals: dogs, cats, cows, pigs, sheep, and whatever else came his way. Often, farmer families would greet him with gifts, and he'd see farm kids with missing fingers because of accidents. Get an insider's look of what it takes to be a veterinarian from a practitioner who took a very unconventional path with this memoir.

Barking Big

A Veterinarian’s Inspiring Story of Perseverance

By: Dan Castillo DVM

Barking Big is a story of perseverance. Dr. Dan Castillo will take you through a very unique and unorthodox path, certainly far from the cookie-cutter path of college, veterinary school, and work. This book talks about the author’s early childhood, his wild youth growing up in New York, his days in the Dominican Republic, and his journey through veterinary school in another language. The author will take you through his experiences, both good and tragic, that will lead you to four states—New York, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Virginia. This story is a must-read for all those who have been told they will never make it and are determined to prove those naysayers wrong. It is also for parents or guardians who hope that their kid who may have lost his or her way will find the right path and succeed. This book is about learning to fail, getting through the roadblocks, persevering, and dreaming or barking big.
