Summary
THE MASSIVE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
It has been 30 years since Noel Fitzpatrick graduated as a veterinary surgeon, and that 22-year-old from Ballyfin, Ireland, is now one of the leading veterinary surgeons in the world. The journey to that point has seen Noel treat thousands of animals - many of whom were thought to be beyond help - animals that have changed his life, and the lives of those around them, for the better.
If the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Listening to the Animals was about Noel's path to becoming The Supervet, then How Animals Saved My Life is about what it's like to actually be The Supervet. Noel shares the moving and often funny stories of the animals he's treated and the unique 'animal people' he has met along the way. He reflects on the valuable lessons of Integrity, Care, Love and Hope that they have taught him - lessons that have sustained him through the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of a profession where lives are quite literally at stake.
As Noel explores what makes us connect with animals so deeply, we meet Peanut, the world's first cat with two front bionic limbs; eight-year-old therapy dachschund Olive; Odin, a gorgeous five-year-old Dobermann, who would prove to be one of Noel's most challenging cases - and of course his beloved companions Ricochet, the Maine Coon, and Keira, the scruffy Border terrier who is always by his side.

A beautiful piece of now
I giggled, I cried, I smiled and I laughed out loud but most of all I held onto my best friend, my love and I savoured every wriggle and nuzzle and lick. A beautiful honest and heart warming triumph.

Emotionally draining.
I did enjoy this book, but found the central message was repeated so much that one become anaesthetised to it. It plays on your pet-owning emotions to the point where you become drained.

Why use 10 words when 50 long “fancy” ones will do.
I had enjoyed Noel’s previous book but this once just came across as a number of lectures at mankind. I’m aware that Noel has been theatrical in his past and this certainly came across in his narration. Everything seemed to be for affect, both words used and

Not what I expected
Interesting mix and worth persevering. Very self indulgent and at times a self help

Dissapointing
Love the soft Irish voice but found content hard work. Think Noel had been through a bad period & it was reflected in the book
Sorry to say I gave up before the end.

So moving
I think Noel has been inside my head. There were so many incidents and thought processes that I too have been through
Self help at its best - it certainly reminded me to truly value every minute I spend with my own babies and the street animals that I call my own. Having them in my life makes me a better person
Thanks for sharing in such a personal way Noel

Very interesting read
This showed how much sole searching is hard, facing up to your phobia and hang ups can hurt as well as give you profound relief.
Would recommend as this was an enjoyable read.
