Arriving in 1970s' London as a fresh-faced Canadian Bruce Fogle assumed that because he knew the language he would understand the English. As a graduate of the world's best veterinary school he also thought his profession would come naturally to him. He quickly learned not to make assumptions

Bruce began his career at the prestigious Woodrow & Singleton surgery in the heart of the Knightsbridge. Frequented by Britain's most distinguished pet owners from Duchesses and Sultans to Paul McCartney and Elizabeth Taylor it also cared for the exotic inhabitants of the Harrods' Zoo Department.'

Over the next few years an arc of clients would cross Bruce's table from cats and dogs to alligators pumas and even a capuchin monkey. Each adventure taught Bruce far more than any textbook ever could while skilful veterinary nurses provided the greatest lessons of all.

Call the Vet is a wonderfully rich and warmly funny memoir. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s' London it explores the unique bond between pets and their owners; the common thread of compassion that unites all cultures and classes and the discovery of love and joy in unexpected places.
