Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in Ballyfin, Ireland, Noel's childhood was spent on the family farm, his beloved sheepdog Pirate providing solace from the bullies that plagued him at school. This bond with Pirate, and a fateful night spent trying to save a newborn lamb, inspired Noel to enter the world of veterinary science - and set him on the path to becoming The Supervet. Now, in this heartwarming memoir, Noel recounts his often-surprising journey, and the lessons that the animals in his care have taught him: especially his beloved Border Terrier Keira, who has been by Noel's side throughout his extraordinary career.
