All Creatures Great and Small

Another of the great people of Parkdale was Dr. Higgins a veteranarian.
He had an office in his basement and was kind to a kid in need. there was not alot of money to go around back then to raise a family let alone healthcare for an animal. In a time when you could get a cat or dog for free people didn't spend money on sick anaimals. But to a kid the dog or cat may have been picked up for free but as a friend they were priceless.
Dr. higgins was very compasionate with a soft spot for a kid that needed needles for their pet or needed them spade.
He always seemed to know what a kid could afford and charge just what you had in your pocket.
