Publisher Description
The uplifting Sunday Times No.1 bestselling memoir from Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, the Supervet.
It has been 35 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.

A warm and heart filled story once again 🙏.
Absolutely fantastic read. I’ve read this book 5 times and it still never gets boring. All these stories are incredible, but the one that had me on the edge of my seat, would be Keira being hit by that van. I was right there in my mind with my chihuahua dog who has Cushing’s too. Keira is a credit to you Noel as is your son. As they say behind every great man is a great woman, and for Noel, that great woman is Keira. Thank you for making me see that adoring my dogs isnt eccentric. My dogs are my children, and like many people with animals, I’m truly blessed. God bless you Noel for all you do for animals.
