Summary

Compelling and wonderfully descriptive, Austin recalls his life experiences as a veterinarian travelling the globe, from his native Ireland to the far reaches of Australia and New Zealand. While not always glamorous, this collection of stories is achingly honest and utterly captivating. With many laughs along the way, listeners will delight in accompanying him on his amazing journey.

Far from presenting a traditional outlook, Austin knows that the true measure of his worth stems from his ability to travel and gain knowledge through opportunities too many others never get, in learning about our animal counterparts and how to take care of them.

Many of the animals he encounters leave the listener with a sense of familiarity. Austin describes situations animals get themselves into, procedures that need to be done, and so much more. There is seldom a typical day in his life. From farm animals, to domestic, and everything in between, Austin encounters some pretty interesting creatures around the world.

This book captures the real sense of connection between a vet and those who rely on his services, all while being acutely aware of the very special bond between animal and owner. The animals rightly take center stage, and their unique personalities shine through in this beautifully written and narrated memoir.

The real love, compassion, and awareness shown toward all his charges is evident, making this a very touching listen. With dashes of nostalgia, a deep appreciation of nature, and the great outdoors, this collection of poignant, quirky, and unpredictable short animal stories will not disappoint.

Whiskers, Feathers and Fur is a must-listen for lovers of the James Herriot series, whilst also offering some fresh 21st century perspectives.
