In the frozen Yukon Territory of Northern Canada, you’ve got to be hearty and tough. You’ve got to expect solitude across frigid, remote landscapes with freezing temperatures. But even in the desolate wilderness you need a vet to help your ailing wiener dog. Enter Dr. Michelle Oakley. There is no such thing as a typical day for her; house calls can range from expelling dogs anal glands to getting chased down by very large Arctic Muskox. Accompanied by her teenage daughters and armed with humor as sharp as a scalpel, Dr. Oakley deftly juggles being a full time vet, wife and mom, all in the rugged, unexplored and unexamined regions of the Yukon.
