Description
THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
How Animals Saved My Life: Being the Supervet by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick offers an inspiring and heartwarming account of one man's journey in the world of veterinary medicine. It has been 30 years since Noel Fitzpatrick graduated as a veterinary surgeon. The 22-year-old from Ballyfin, Ireland, has since risen to become one of the leading veterinary surgeons globally. His transformative journey is marked by treating thousands of animals, many of whom were believed to be beyond help. These animals have profoundly impacted his life and the lives of those around them, making the world a better place.
If the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Listening to the Animals narrated Noel's path to becoming The Supervet, then How Animals Saved My Life delves into the experiences of actually being The Supervet. Through a series of moving and often amusing stories, Noel shares his encounters with the animals he's treated and the extraordinary 'animal people' he has met along his journey.
In the book, Noel reflects on the invaluable lessons of Integrity, Care, Love, and Hope that these animals have imparted to him. These lessons have not only shaped his career but have sustained him through the incredible highs and crushing lows of a profession where lives hang in the balance. Noel explores the deep connection humans have with animals, offering insights that resonate with anyone who has ever loved a pet.
Readers will meet Peanut, the world's first cat with two front bionic limbs, and Olive, an eight-year-old therapy dachshund who has brought joy to many. The book also features Odin, a stunning five-year-old Dobermann who presented one of Noel's most challenging cases. Along the way, Noel introduces us to his beloved companions, including Ricochet, the Maine Coon, and Keira, his scruffy Border terrier who remains steadfastly by his side.
How Animals Saved My Life is an uplifting testament to the bond between humans and animals, showcasing the emotional and inspiring stories that have shaped The Supervet's illustrious career. Professor Noel Fitzpatrick's heartfelt narrative underscores the profound impact that animals can have on our lives, making this a must-read for animal lovers and anyone interested in the remarkable world of veterinary medicine.
