LISTENING TO THE ANIMALS: Becoming the Supervet

The massive number one Sunday Times bestselling memoir by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, the world-renowned neuro-orthopaedic veterinary surgeon and star of the Channel 4 show The Supervet, now in its 12th series. Globally recognised for his innovative surgical solutions for animals, Noel has developed dozens of new techniques and here is his powerful, heartwarming and inspiring memoir. From growing up on the family farm in Ballyfin, Ireland, where he was first inspired to enter the world of veterinary science, to founding Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, Noel recounts this often surprising journey and we meet the animals that have paved the way, from calving cows and corralling bullocks to talkative parrots and bionic cats and dogs. The animals in his care have taught him much, especially the times Noel has shared with his beloved Keira, the scruffy Border Terrier who has been by Noel's side as he's dealt with the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of his extraordinary career. 376 page paperback, 16 pages of colour photos.
