About the author

Luke qualified from Bristol University in 1999 and undertook a post graduate scholarship in large animal medicine and surgery at Cambridge University. ALthough primarily a mixed practice vet and based in his New Forest surgery, Pilgrims Veterinary Practice, he is also the founder of the international animal charity Worldwide Veterinary Service (www.wvs.org.uk). His voluntary work with WVS takes him all over the world, helping animals in extreme situations in places where there are no veterinary resources, and was the subject of two TV series on Sky 1. Luke also runs a pet travel company called PetAir UK.

Luke is a black belt in karate, an ironman triathlete and has run 152miles across the Sahara to raise money for his charity in the gruelling marathon des sables. In 2010, Luke was voted by the profession to be the recipient of the BSAVA Alf Wight Memorial Award (James Herriot Award). This is given to one vet in the UK annually for outstanding contributions in the field of animal welfare.

Luke is married to Cordelia (also a vet) and lives in the New Forest with their two children (soon to be three!), a ridgeback and a bossy rescue cat called Charlie.

Just like the first book this was very sweet and cozy. A lot more action packed than the first book, and I'm all for it!
