Pete sometimes helps the vet he met during his work experience. The vet wants to know why a woman with a cat left before her appointment…
Pete:
'Well, I was outside the waiting room. Suddenly, I heard someone scream, so I went in and saw a dog barking at a woman standing on a chair with her cat in her arms. Then I heard the cat hiss and I saw it scratch its owner and jump out of the window. The woman quickly went after her pet and I could hear her calling for the cat outside for a while. I really hope she found it. The dog owner was pretty upset as well. He said that he didn’t see that coming at all!'
