Star of Channel 5's television series The Yorkshire Vet, Julian Norton has written a warm, evocative & often funny memoir of his life & the huge variety of animals & people he has met along the way.

From his childhood love of animals, through his training & first steps in the profession & the pressures & challenges faced by vets, dealing with unexpected exotic pets
- & handling excitable humans too
- Julian has seen all sides of the veterinary world & writes about it all with humour & affection. Just as happy calving a cow, treating a dehydrated chameleon or tending to the overgrown teeth of a rabbit, his passion for his work shines through on every page, as does his love for Yorkshire.

Published 100 years after the birth of James Herriott, & with a foreword by Herriott's son Jim Wight, Julian's story is sometimes sad, often funny & always warm & compassionate, bringing to life the world of the working vet & the highs & lows he & his colleagues face on a daily basis.
