Mikor határoztam el, hogy állatorvos leszek? Még a percre is pontosan emlékszem. Tizenhárom éves voltam, olvastam egy cikket a fiúknak ajánlott pályákról és úgy éreztem, ez való nekem. Szerettem a kutyákat és a macskákat, az irodai munka pedig egyáltalán nem vonzott. Szinte láttam magam előtt, ahogy a házi kedvenceket a saját állatkórházamban gyógyítom. Hogy a csudába történhetett hát, hogy itt ülök egy yorkshire-i dombon ingujjban, gumicsizmában és enyhe tehénszagom van?
