How can anyone resist those eyes?
Leon has a way with animals as well as a way to use them to help ease the suffering of those with long-term illness or injury. Hes loved by patients and nurses alike until, that is, hes asked to drop in on reclusive old codger, Ralph Esseltine, who has a reputation of reducing health workers to tears. Instead of tears, Esseltine goads the placid Leon to anger by kicking the frisky puppy Leon has brought along as therapy. Expecting the worst, Leon submits his resignation only to discover that Esseltine has requested he visit again. What sort of revenge does the old recluse have in mind? And what of Esseltines estranged grandson and his obnoxious boyfriend who turn up to count the family silver?
