This episode of Take This Job... profiles those who spend their lives working with animals that many of us consider part of the family - our pets.

On a daily basis Linda Clark runs a doggy spa and resort in Oklahoma, but she is also one of the nations top dog handlers - competing in the dog show circuit every weekend. Pet Passions follows Linda and her 12 year-old daughter Kimberly to Texas as they show their own and their client's dogs, hoping for "best in show".

Pet Passions also follows two Vermonters with a very different dedication to animals. Joanne Tetens and Bob Wendell run a small animal and equine veterinary surgery practice.

They spend each day on call for vet emergencies that can crop up at a moment's notice. Their skills mean life or death for the animals that come into their office. In one very busy day, we follow them as they struggle to help a dog that has been eating rocks, and then go into a marathon surgery to save a prize show horse.
