Synopsis

CHOSEN BY WATERSTONES AS ONE OF THEIR BEST NATURE WRITING BOOKS OF 2024

'A beautiful book' Greg James

There’s no love quite like that between a dog and their human.
 
When people come to see Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick at his referral hospital, they are in desperate need of his help. No matter who they are – a serving member of the military, a young boy whose dog is his best friend, a couple at a crossroads – they all have one thing in common: hope that Noel may be able to heal their animal companion.
 
In his thirty years as a vet, Noel has seen people from all walks of life come through his doors. And through stories of his cases, he shares his unique perspective on our often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking relationship with dogs. Filled with warmth, love and characters from Thor the Pyrenean Mountain Dog to Bertie the Pomeranian, with every shape and size in between, this is a celebration of our connection with man’s best friend.
 
Dogs make us the best humans we can be.
