Publisher's Synopsis
As another year gets under way at his animal sanctuary in the Cornish countryside, life remains as unpredictable as ever for RSPCA warden Rex Harper. On top of the usual influx of dogs and cats, Rex has unusual visitors, from sickly seals to mistreated horses, from an amorous duck called Pierre to a troublesome tortoise called Tommy. Adding to his worries, Rex and his staff face a potentially catastrophic outbreak of illness amongst the animals, a stressful court action against an abusive dog owner and the crucial inspection by their RSPCA bosses. Will the sanctuary survive its most testing twelve months yet?
