Back-breaking labour, lots of blood, a speedy Morris Minor, the care of animals and interactions with their owners Ð this is the entertaining and emotional memoir of veterinarian Hans Zuur.

After obtaining his veterinary degree in the Netherlands and initially working there, Hans, his wife and three young children immigrated to New Zealand in 1959. He worked alongside another Dutch trained vet in a rural environment in the heart of the Waikato region.

In this book, Hans recounts his experiences and adventures as a veterinarian. With an honest, quirky and refreshing writing style, Hans invites the reader on a journey into the past. Exploring how working as a rural veterinarian in the 60Õs and 70Õs had its trials and joys, Hans describes how the limitations of technology, a vast array of diseases and treatments and a friendly farming community led to a challenging, but ultimately rewarding career.

A plus!
Format: Paperback
I’ve been trying so hard to get my 10 year old daughter with Dyslexia to enjoy reading. I bought this book hoping it would reel her in since she recently joined a swim team. It absolutely did. She loved it and now wants to read more. As an avid reader myself I am so so happy that she has finally read something she enjoyed and didn’t have to be forced to read. Thank you!!

Ordered this book for our Summer reading program and it was awesome and very relatable to the kids! Awesome job! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! The kids LOVED the storyline and the graphics so much and wanted to continue to read it when time was up after each program, which is a good thing! Here is a photo we took in our last day!
