Dr. Bradley was our vet and we felt like he was also our friend. He was very smart and also had a lot of common sense. He was happy to share his knowledge about animals and treatments. We were so happy to have him as our vet and appreciated his good horse sense. We just found out about your loss and are sad along with you. May our loving heavenly father comfort you and be with you.
