“[When asked if he could think of a cure for a dog who eats soil]”
I'll sleep with her. I’m a special kind of vet - people bring the animals in, and I sleep with them. Do you have any sick animals that need some time with a vet?

I’d go around the zoo, like James Herriot... saying ‘Giraffes? Really? Bring them to me.’
