It has been 30 years since Noel Fitzpatrick graduated as a veterinary surgeon, and that 22-year-old from Ballyfin, Ireland, is now one of the leading veterinary surgeons in the world. The journey to that point has seen Noel treat thousands of animals -- many of whom were thought to be beyond help -- animals that have changed his life, and the lives of those around them, for the better. This book is about what it's like to actually be the Supervet. Noel shares the moving and heartwarming stories of the animals he's treated and the unique 'animal people' he has met along the way. He reflects on the valuable lessons they have taught him -- lessons that have sustained him through the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of a profession where lives are quite literally at stake. As Noel explores what makes us connect with animals so deeply we meet Peanut, the world's first cat with two front bionic limbs; 8-year-old therapy dachshund Olive; Odin, a 5-year-old Dobermann, who would prove to be one of Noel's most challenging cases -- and of course his beloved companions Ricochet, the Maine Coon, and Keira, the scruffy Border terrier, who are always by his side |
