About this listen

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.

I read Noels first book couldn't wait for his second, never dreaming that it could be as good never mind better. If the world was to have more Noel Fitzpatricks it would be a wonderful world to be sure. Anyone who loves life. people, and Animals will walk away from reading this a richer person.

Brilliant. Honest. Courageous .Awe-inispiring

I love watching The Supervet. What Noel & his team do for the animals is beyond fantastic. Noel is an absolute genius with the inventions he comes up with. I am an owner of 3 cats with whom I adore just as he adores his. What an excellent audio book.

Very Enjoyable
