I have cried, laughed, despaired and felt the radiant light of eternal hope as I held her paw and she guided me through these words, which we have written for you in our book. As he explores how our relationships with animals can bring out the best in each of us, we meet some of the wonderful animals he has tried to help, the families who love them and the deeply personal challenges Noel has faced along the way. Full of unforgettable stories of bravery and hope, this is an uplifting and moving chronicle of a life spent in the service of animals, and is a testament to this unique bond of unconditional love that can make us the best we can be.

All of the animals he has met, treated, cured and sadly lost have taught him the valuable lessons of love, hope and faith - lessons that have sustained him in his life outside the Supervet. He struggled through life, trying to comprehend what had happened to him but his survival was very much due to his relationship with animals and his magical bond with Kiera. When Noel was struggling in life, it was Kiera who he turned to to help him through the difficult times. Professor Noel Fitzpatrick joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky to talk about his latest autobiography, Beyond Supervet. In this inspiring, uplifting and heart-warming memoir, world-renowned veterinary surgeon Professor Noel Fitzpatrick shares some of the most personal and powerful tales ever from his life as The Supervet.

I am sure there are many readers who will feel comfort from this book, especially approaching this festive time of year, when we miss those we love more than ever. Speaking more about the new release, Noel said: “My hope for the book is that Keira’s light lights the path for many thousands, if not millions, of people that have judgement in their life, that don't feel so good about themselves, that feel inadequate, like I do before you go into an operation.Smudge has become part of the family and I have been surprised how I have adapted to him over the years. The book, which comes out on 27th October, follows 2020's Sunday Times bestseller, How Animals Saved My Life, and continues to reveal what it's like to be the Supervet, with Noel at his most candid and revealing. Inspiring and healing in equal measure, this beautifully illustrated and deeply heartfelt story of Noel and Keira’s journey together teaches us all how to embrace the ups with the downs, the joy and the sorrow, the darkness and the light, that make up a life.

Underneath that, there’s just a little boy who is scared and feels inadequate, and if I can’t tell the truth about that, then there is zero point in writing a book.

Noel shares the moving and often funny stories of the animals he’s treated and the unique ‘animal people’ he has met along the way. Fitzpatrick added: “I have written more than a hundred scientific papers and a few other books here and there, but all pale by comparison with what Keira, my best friend in the whole world, gifts to all of us in these pages. The journey to that point has seen Noel treat thousands of animals – many of whom were thought to be beyond help – animals that have changed his life, and the lives of those around them, for the better.

The author and TV presenter added: “The whole point of the book really fulcrums around one sentence, which is, ‘If fear can drive you rather than destroy you, sometimes the thing you fear the most can make you least afraid’. A remarkable story of one man and the love of his life - the animals he has saved, animals who have in turn saved him.
