Jonathan Cranston is not an ordinary veterinarian. In addition to his everyday work in the countryside of Gloucestershire—treating cows, pigs, dogs, and cats—he travels around the world and works with an astonishing variety of animals, including crocodiles, rhinos, and pandas. In his engaging manner, the author introduces you to some of his patients—from beloved pets to magnificent wild beasts. Whether it’s microchipping armadillos, pain relief for giraffes, or the birth of a calf, Jonathan’s love for his work and for the animal kingdom is contagious. The stories in this book, from the ridiculous (castrating a sugar glider) to the dangerous (an encounter with the victims of rhino poaching), will amaze and charm every animal lover.
