Book description

As the son of a country vet, animals have been a part of Dr Chris Brown's life for as long as he can remember - so it's not surprising that he has followed in his father's veterinary footsteps. But Chris's life has one twist his dad never had to deal with...a camera crew following him around to capture the day-to-day life of an urban vet. TALES FROM A BONDI VET is based on the Network Ten television show 'Bondi Vet', in which Chris stars, and tells his story along with the funny, strange and sometimes heartbreaking tales of his patients and their owners. From the moment of a trembling Rottweiler called Zenna is brought into his clinic we follow the progress of Chris's many patients as he treats anything from poisoning, snake bit, near-drowning and trauma to cosmetic surgery, and love gone wrong. On call twenty-four hours a day, anything can happen...and often does. This is a unique insight into the world of one of Sydney's busiest vets and the animals he devotes his days caring for. Dr Chris Brown grew up in the suburbs of Newcastle and gained his veterinary degree from the University of Sydney. He started his television career as the new vet on 'Harry's Practice' and has since appeared on 'Burke's Backyard', 'Talk to the Animals' and 'The Today Show'. In 2009 he became the star of his own series, Channel Ten's 'Bondi Vet'.
