Listening to the Animals: Becoming The Supervet - Professor Noel Fitzpatrick

THE NO.1 IRISH BESTSELLER.

A
powerful, heart-warming and inspiring memoir from the UK's most famous
and beloved vet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - star of the Channel 4
series The Supervet.

Growing up on the
family farm in Ballyfin, Ireland, Noel's childhood was
spent tending to
the cattle and sheep, the hay and silage, the tractors
and land, his
beloved sheepdog Pirate providing solace from the bullies
that plagued
him at school. It was this bond with Pirate, and a fateful
night spent
desperately trying to save a newborn lamb, that inspired
Noel to enter
the world of veterinary science - and set him on the path
to becoming
The Supervet.

Now, in this long-awaited memoir, Noel
recounts this often-surprising journey that sees him leaving behind a
farm animal practice in rural Ireland to set up Fitzpatrick Referrals
in
Surrey, one of the most advanced small animal specialist centres in
the
world. We meet the animals that paved the way, from calving cows
and
corralling bullocks to talkative parrots and bionic cats and dogs.

Noel
has listened to the many lessons that the animals in his care have
taught him, and especially the times he 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.

As heart-warming and life-affirming as the TV show with which he made his name, Listening to the Animals
is a story of love, hope and compassion, and about rejoicing in the
bond between humans and animals that makes us the very best we can be.

Professor Noel Fitzpatrick is a world-renowned neuro-orthopaedic veterinary surgeon, the founder of Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, and the star of the hit Channel 4 television show The Supervet, now in its twelfth series. Globally recognised for his innovative surgical solutions for animals, Noel has developed dozens of new techniques, including several world-firsts, that have provided hope where none seemed possible to provide quality of life for his patients.
