Growing up in Yorkshire and with farming blood in his genes James Greenwood always knew he would become a vet. Animals have been part of James' life for as long as he can remember from pulling lambs on a hilltop farm as a child to renting a flat behind a zoo in Jersey and finding himself treating a newborn elephant as a newly qualified vet. Written with warmth and humour James offers a fascinating insight into the world of veterinary medicine with tales of treating all sorts of animals as well as remembering his relationship with his much-missed one-eyed Labrador Oliver. James' path has not always been easy. But through the highs and lows it has been the animals themselves that have spurred him on to want to continue vetting and find his calling as a GP vet.
