Milliron Monday: Toy Poodle 7 13 2020


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

A racehorse has the ability to take multiple
people for a ride at the same time.

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. 

What does a surgeon think of when he has an award-winning filly on the operating table? I think it was just another day at work for Dr. Smith; however, I suspect he was up for the challenge to fix a filly's stifle. 

Toy Poodle, a two-time World Champion Pacer, was brought to Dr. Smith for stifle repair. Dr. Smith, known as Dr. Stifle throughout the Midwest, gave Toy Poodle just what she needed to continue her winning career. An amazing tribute to a dedicated country veterinarian.

Thanks for the Memories! Jim Michael, Toy Poodle's owner, expressed his thanks in November 5, 1980. "Dr. A. P. Smith, Athens, Ohio, who corrected stifle soreness that sidelined her at two."

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.
