Mark Becker, the son of Larry and Eve Becker, developed a love for caring for animals during a visit to a family friend in Montana with his mother. While there, he observed a veterinarian treating animals on the ranch and a farrier putting shoes on several horses. Both professionals answered his questions and shared insights about their respective trades. The veterinarian played a significant role in Mark's life as he grew up. This is Mark's story, inspired by those who care for animals, leading him to become a veterinarian himself. Along the way, he met a remarkable young woman in veterinary school who became an important part of his life and his family's.

Bernie spent summers on his grandfather's 14,000-acre ranch in Eastern Montana. When the ranch was sold, he spent a couple of summers working in Glacier National Park before entering the Army. After being discharged, he began his airline career in Minneapolis with Northwest Airlines. Returning to Montana with the airline, where in his spare time he could be found hunting, fly fishing, and team roping either on the Missouri River or along the shadows of the Sawtooth. Spending time also packing into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Transferring to Seattle, he assumed a position in operations, where he became familiar with flight crews and working MAC (Military Air Charter) flights arriving and departing to Vietnam, and retiring from the airlines after 38 years. A short 3 years later, he began working for the Griffin School District near Olympia, Washington. He now lives overlooking the Puget Sound in Lacey, Washington. Cover by Jayden McDonough
