RIVKA GALCHEN - HOW I BECAME A VET

RIVKA GALCHEN - HOW I BECAME A VET

When I say “vet,” I do not mean veteran. A veteran is someone formerly in contact with death on a regular basis. A veterinarian is someone currently in contact with death on a regular basis. A part of me is moved to specify that not all veterans have been in contact with death, nor are all veterinarians so on a regular basis. But I’m older now. I know that many people experience such clarifications as weird. Weirdness does, though, generate uncommon strengths. Such was my experience with the suicide dogs, who, like most of us, were not what they seemed.

100 Years of TIME

A century-long tradition began March 3, 1923, with the first issue of TIME.
