Synopsis
Join novice vet, Paul Mitchell, in a further six months of hilarious escapades he experiences while working at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital.
He’s confronted by a ravenous pig while sunbathing naked in a cornfield. He locks jaws with a caiman with scale rot and battles with Doug, a vicious miniature donkey that’s always sinking his teeth into him.
It ends with a Christmas pet blessing which erupts into pandemonium as frightened pets and owners scatter through the pews.
Throughout his adventures, Paul is loyally supported by the team at the hospital – in particular Beryl, the elderly one-eyed receptionist, and, Lucy the junior nurse – together with whom he shares this merry-go-round of mayhem.
It’s a gripping, fast page-turner that’s guaranteed to keep animal lovers entranced.
Reviews
‘You’ll laugh a lot and thoroughly enjoy reading about the rather hapless Paul Mitchell’s escapades.
Perfect for animal lovers the world over.’
Natasha Harding, Book Columnist, The Sun
‘Have you ever wondered what your vet gets up to in his or her spare time? Read it here, it’s hilarious.’
Denise Robertson, Agony Aunt, ITV’s This Morning
‘A romp of a book! Take a loveable goofy vet with a heart of gold, plonk him in some crazy animal situations and laugh out loud as he reacts as only he can. I read the book in a day and annoyed everyone in the house by alternating between giggling and shaking my head. A must-read, highly recommended.’
Simon Dawson, author of Pigs in Clover
‘An entertaining fast-paced bedtime read that any animal lover will enjoy.
It provides a humorous insight into the world of a vet.’
Sue Parslow, Editor, Your Cat magazine
‘Living as I do, on a tropical island with a permanently hungry dog and ten raucous chickens tends to produce a few animal-related laughs, but nowhere near as many as this fun book does. Follow the adventures of a young vet as he gets to grips with amusing animals of all shapes and sizes. A great way to spend an entertaining afternoon in a hammock under the palms.’
