Roughly midway into his career, veterinarian Kwane Stewart faced the difficult decision of whether or not to continue practicing in his field.

Working as a shelter vet proved to be more emotionally draining than he imagined, particularly due to the euthanasia rates.

Hoping for a sign that would reignite his passion, Stewart stumbled upon a homeless man who needed help treating his dog. On a whim, the doctor walked over to assist.
