In

this inspiring, uplifting and heart-warming memoir, world-renowned

veterinary surgeon Professor Noel Fitzpatrick explores his journey to

becoming The Supervet.

Growing up on the family farm in

Ballyfin, Ireland, Noel's childhood was spent tending to the cattle and

sheep, the hay and silage, the tractors and land, his beloved sheepdog

Pirate providing solace from the bullies that plagued him at school. It

was this bond with Pirate, and a fateful night spent desperately trying

to save a newborn lamb, that inspired Noel to enter the world of

veterinary science - and set him on the path to becoming The Supervet.

Now,

in this long-awaited memoir, Noel recounts this often-surprising

journey that sees him leaving behind a farm animal practice in rural

Ireland to set up Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, one of the most

advanced small animal specialist centres in the world. We meet the

animals that paved the way, from calving cows and corralling bullocks to

talkative parrots and bionic cats and dogs.

Noel has listened

to the many lessons that the animals in his care have taught him, and

especially the times he has shared with his beloved Keira, the scruffy

Border Terrier who has been by Noel's side as he's dealt with the

unbelievable highs and crushing lows of his extraordinary career.

As heart-warming and life-affirming as the TV show with which he made his name, LISTENING TO THE ANIMALS is a story of love, hope and compassion, and about rejoicing in the

bond between humans and animals that makes us the very best we can be.
