About this listen
Honest and heart-warming account of the highs and lows of life as a vet, by lovable rising TV star.
Rory speaks frequently on animal welfare, mental health and is known for his open, heartfelt approach to his work.
Rory has had a passion for animals for as long as he can remember. He grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals, and it was always his ambition to be a vet. He now works in a busy London practice where his very honest and often emotional relationships with the animals he treats and their owners has made him the relatable and approachable face of veterinary work.
In an era when doctors and nurses are talking more openly about the realities of saving human lives, Rory shows what a vital service vets offer in caring for the animals that often form the very heart of the household. He describes the demanding experience of veterinary school and offers a very human take on what it's like to treat animals and the little-talked-about mental health implications that this pressured life or death industry holds.

The narrative takes us on a journey through Rory's years as a young boy and the animals who influenced his decision to become a vet, to being at vet school and finally working in practice.
It's not for the squeamish but my goodness it will teach you why this profession is so loved and so underestimated at the same time. From smelly dentals to a stinky 'bum bum' Rory explores an honest account of his experiences with funny stories, warm loving moments and quite dark times.
Yes he has worked on shows for children and this book is on the more adult side but he should NOT be pigeonholed. Don't judge someone based on TV shows, this is an honest account of his life, he deserves to tell it, warts and all!
He has lived through rejection, people telling him that he can't do things and openly shows his battle scars to the listener with a small wobble in his voice when talking about euthanasia. Still he strived ever onwards to make his dream of being a vet come true.
I hope to read more from this awe inspiring author. He clearly shows that you should NEVER give up on something you love.
An enlightening & true account of vet aspirations♥
