Growing up in Yorkshire, with a farming heritage running in his veins, James Greenwood had a clear vision of his future: he would become a veterinarian. From a young age, animals have been an integral part of his life, from tending to lambs on a hilltop farm to encountering stick insects in his school uniform. His journey took him from renting a flat behind a zoo in Jersey to providing veterinary care to a newborn baby elephant as a newly qualified vet.

Written with his signature warmth and humor, James delves into the captivating world of veterinary medicine, sharing tales of his experiences treating a diverse range of animals, including cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and cows. He also delves deep into his close bond with his beloved one-eyed Labrador, Oliver, who played a significant role in his journey.

However, the path to realizing his childhood ambition was not without its challenges. James encountered moments of doubt and questioned whether veterinary medicine truly was the best job in the world. Through the ups and downs, it was the unwavering love and compassion he shared with the animals that fueled his determination to continue his work as a veterinarian.

James's story is a beautiful tribute to the profound impact animals have on our lives. It offers a rare glimpse into the realities and hardships of being a vet, resonating with fans of Matt Baker, The Yorkshire Shepherdess, and The Supervet. His warm, poignant, and heartfelt narrative will touch the hearts of anyone who has ever loved an animal, reminding us of the extraordinary bond we share with these incredible creatures.
