Review 1: I laughed; I cried; I couldn't put it down; and I am still thinking about it! The author- a wife, a Mom, a veterinarian, an adventurer and a woman of deep faith, optimism and humor-takes the reader with her and her family on their sojourns back and forth from Kansas to Kenya in totally relatable and lyrical style. It's pure joy from beginning to end.
★★★★★ – Dian Eller, Amazon reviewer

Review 2: Loved this book. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. Loved the humor, it was so witty. Her compassion for street children of Africa was inspiring. Her trials were life altering, but her faith carried her and her family through all the years of poor living conditions we only read about but cannot fathom.
★★★★★ – A. Schumacher, Amazon reviewer

Review 3: My husband and I both read this wonderful book. There are no words to express how deeply we were touched by this remarkable story. God Bless Ms Martin and her family for answering their call and making a difference.
★★★★★ – Deb Reif, Amazon reviewer

Review 3: Cats and Dogs and Killers... Oh, my! Delightful, intriguing new series by author Annie Moore Martin DVM, who lets us in on the behind-the-scenes life of a small-town veterinarian, as she spins her mystery tales into a cozy series. Well-written and spiked with a good dose of humor, she brings Dr. Ruby Dakota and the Belladonnas to life on the page. Can't wait for their next adventure!

Annie's Journey

Dr. Annie Martin is a veterinarian by profession, a missionary by calling, and an author by coercion. She has owned small animal veterinary practices in Kansas and Nebraska and spent time working for the USDA in meat inspection. In between those jobs, she and her family left all to move to Kenya, East Africa where they lived for 19 years. Annie holds a bachelor's degree and a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University. She and her husband, John, now reside in Ozark, Missouri.

A Calling She Didn't See Coming

Anne in Mathare.jpg

Annie Moore Martin was trying to hold it together — juggling a 60-hour-plus work week in a solo veterinary practice, on-call 24/7, plus cooking, cleaning, soccer practices, piano lessons, gymnastics meets, and school plays. Almost at the end of her frazzled leash, she heard God calling her to Africa. Was it God, or exhaustion talking? Annie left the U.S. assuming she'd be treating large animals in the African bush. Instead, one door after another opened until her whole family found themselves serving as missionaries in Kenya. In Annie's often humorous memoir, "Little Dogs Pee Higher", she quickly discovers that her training as a small animal veterinarian did nothing to prepare her for the need she was about to face.
