Probably the silliest column I ever wrote
The author recalls a humorous tale about two dogs showing distress, only to reveal the beagle had inflamed tonsils and the cocker a possible appendicitis. He notes the limits of famous scientists in diagnosing such dog ailments, shares anecdotes about life lessons, and concludes with a self deprecating aside about his own medical woes and the column’s silliness.
