Rounded up from 3.5 ⭐️ I’m not usually the biggest fan of non-fiction books. However, I really enjoyed this memoir!
Call the vet follows Bruce back to his life in the early 1970s. Where he has recently qualified as a vet and moved to England from Canada. Along the way we get insights into his patients, their owners and his personal relationships. As well as the lessons he learnt during his career and from the people around him.
I admit, at first I was not the biggest fan of Bruce. But I liked the brutal honesty of character that came across. As Bruce learns more from his clients and the nurses at his practice he grows so much. I loved seeing this transformation and definitely warmed to him completely by the end.
I am a huge animal lover, which made reading this book both amusing and heart wrenching. I loved the happy accounts of animals and their behaviours. There was some parts that were so hard to read, but they show so much of the beauty that can come from animal and human relationships. Bruce may have learnt a lot from these early years in his career, but his book has taught me a lot too.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that likes non-fiction or interesting biographies. Or for anyone like me, who just loves animals!
