Dr. Cutter is the local Veterinarian, known for his wry humour. He surpassed himself one summer day when a city dog was brought to him after an encounter with a porcupine.

After almost an hour of prying, pulling, cutting and stitching, he returned the dog to its owner, who asked what she owed.

"Fifteen dollars, Ma'am," he answered.

"Why that's simply outrageous!" she stormed. "That's what's wrong with you tourist town people, you're always trying to over charge summer visitors. Whatever do you do in the winter, when we're not taking advantage of tourists here?"

"Raise porcupines, Ma'am."
