Dogs and their humans
€19.99
Every day in my consulting room with a dog at my feet I have seen the very best that humanity has to offer and often in the very worst of circumstances. No matter where a family comes from, whether prince or pauper, when they come through the door, every single person has three things in common. One, they love their dogs beyond anything that can be described in words. Two, they will do whatever it takes to help their friend. And three, they have all come to me for one thing and one thing only: hope. Dogs don’t care where we come from, and neither do I. My room is the great leveller. From the sublime to the ridiculous, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick has seen it all in his veterinary practice. This book features stories of healing and hope from the Supervet’s surgery.

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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
Dogs make us the best humans we can be.
