I didn't realize that becoming either a farmer or a vet required such sacrifice.  I figured getting up at all hours and taking care of sick animals in freezing weather and rain was enough of a sacrifice.

The blurb at the above site includes the words, "one jaw serrated, the other slightly overlapping to represent action of human teeth."
