Product Overview

THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 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. If the No.1 Sunday Times
bestseller Listening to the Animals was about Noel's path to becoming The
Supervet, then How Animals Saved My Life is about what it's like to actually
be The Supervet. Noel shares the moving and often funny stories of the animals
he's treated and the unique 'animal people' he has met along the way. He
reflects on the valuable lessons of Integrity, Care, Love and Hope that 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; eight-year-old
therapy dachschund Olive; Odin, a gorgeous five-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
is always by his side. Read more
