Adventures of a Country Vet by Rory Dean

Adventures of a Country Vet by Rory Dean

Funny and heartwarming stories from a Northland country vet In the rolling green hills of Kaipara, Scottish vet Rory Dean and his two fox terriers, Scrappy and Alfie, are on call day and night for whichever animal emergency awaits. In Adventures of a Country Vet, Rory shares stories of the livestock and pets he's cared for as a rural vet in New Zealand and southwest England. From calving in a blizzard to a dog wounded in a pig-hunt, a horse castration gone wrong and warming a baby alpaca in the footwell of his ute, life as a vet is all-go. It isn't all rosy: Rory's sworn at, called every name under the sun, even threatened to be shot; and, some days, bad news can make the toughest Kiwi bloke cry. Working with farmers who are at the mercy of extreme weather, Rory knows when to stop and listen over a strong cuppa. These are entertaining, heartwarming tales of animals in need and a picture of the communities who care for them.

Rory Dean graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 2015 and immediately set off for New Zealand to work on a 2200-cow operation in mid-Canterbury. After six months of farm work, Rory practised as a vet in Somerset, England, before returning to New Zealand and making this beautiful country his home. He lives in Kaipara, Northland, with his two fox terriers, Scrappy and Alfie.
