Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010

Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and  Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire. 

With 2019 swimming by and the completion of several new Milliron projects, we are excited about the opportunity to share video coverage of Dr. Smith at work. This new video collage will include still photos, as well as video by Joy Miller-Upton, a local reporter and journalist. If you have photos or stories you would like to share, please send them our way! We would love to hear from you. 

The new video highlights the incredible skills of Dr. Smith. As the photo above shows, you can see that Dr. Smith was innovative in his approach to animal well-being. His surgical skills sometimes included out-of-the-box ideas that, yes, included welding. 

We are excited to share your photos and stories as we continue the legacy of Dr. Smith. Thanks to everyone who has shared so far. We appreciate the connection and your support to the memory of Dr. Smith. Please send your photos/stories to gmcknight11@gmail.com.

Have a great week ahead.

Through captivating, powerful, and emotional anecdotes, we celebrate the life of Dr. Abbott P. Smith. His biography takes the reader from smiles to laughter to empathy and tears. Dr. Smith gave us compelling lessons learned from animals; the role animals play in the human condition, the joy of loving an animal, and the awe of their spirituality. A tender and profound look into the life of a skilled veterinarian.
