A widower and veterinarian, with two daughters, a dog Tetina and cat Mac. He’s often calm and collected. He’s a “whisperer” which means he can truly speak to animals, partly telepathically. He doesn’t let people know, or they would think he is crazy. But it makes him a great veterinarian. He spends much more time talking to his dog and cat, than his two daughters. There are romantic/kissing scenes with Stefanie.

There are romatic/kissing scenes with Brad.
