RIVKA GALCHEN - HOW I BECAME A VET
The New Yorker

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. Ten decades later and counting-we're still covering the world's news through the stories of the people who shaped those events. To mark TIME's centennial, we're looking back at some of our most influential moments, all framed by the cover's red border-and looking ahead to the stories that the events of tomorrow may bring.
