Otto
Otto is Dr. Griffioen’s loyal companion and a familiar face around the clinic, always ready to lend a helping paw. As the clinic’s “goodest boy,” he free roams the facility and has observed so many appointments and surgeries that he might as well have his own DVM. Otto loves playing with his ball and spending time with the clinic cats, and he even has his own dog at home named Captain. He’s always eager to join a farm call, especially when it means riding in the truck.
