This amusing and endearing hilarious memoir of a young New Zealand vet focuses on the trials and tribulations of being a newcomer to professional life in New Zealand and then in Newfoundland, southern England and Jordan.
In The Ones That Bit Me, there is sadness and personal challenge, too, when Marcus is severely injured in an accident only a couple of years into his practice. Candid, engaging and big-hearted, this book explores the deep connection between humans and animals, and the vet’s role when both are in need of care and support.
