Description

Dr. Cyrus Mills reluctantly returns home to rural Eden Falls, Vermont, under dire personal circumstances, to revive the failing veterinary practice of his recently deceased and long estranged father. His plan is soon complicated when he gets more and more entrenched in the community and in his relationships with the menagerie of eccentric and endearing characters in Eden Falls - including a very pretty local waitress. The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs is a winsome tale of new beginnings, healing hearts and finding your way home.
