Autobiology of a Vet

In this gentle, heart-warming memoir British vet John Sauvage takes the reader through the ups and downs of a life spent caring for animals. Most of his encounters were memorable, though not always for the right reasons! Who can forget a cussing parrot, or being lifted against a wall by an agitated bodybuilder while vaccinating his puppy, or getting kicked in the eye by a stallion with a bad hoof? Doctor Doolittle this ain’t! John was born in London and educated at a large state school from where he successfully worked his way into veterinary college. He practised animal medicine in the United Kingdom and later worked in East Africa, including a stint in Uganda when the country was run by notorious dictator Idi Amin. John now lives in the UK and is a member of the prestigious Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Autobiology of a Vet is his first book.
