Born and raised the Netherlands on a dairy farm, he is the star of Nat Geo Wild's hit show <i>The Incredible Dr. Pol</i> and has been treating animals in rural Michigan since the 1970s. Dr. Pol's more than 20,000 patients have ranged from white mice to 2600-pound horses and everything in between. <p/>From the time he was twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his family's farm to the incredible moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories of what it's like caring for this menagerie of animals. He shares his own story of growing up surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open his first practice in a pre fab house. He has established himself as an empathetic yet no-nonsense vet who isn't afraid to make the difficult decisions in order to do what's best for his patients--and their hard-working owners. A sick pet can bring heartache, but a sick cow or horse could threaten the very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on healthy livestock. <p/>Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, <i>Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow</i> is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal lovers everywhere.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"America's favorite veterinarian."<br>--<i>Scratch</i> magazine <p/>"Nat Geo WILD's #1 series <i>The Incredible Dr. Pol</i> continues to charm audiences and animal lovers everywhere."<br>--TV by the Numbers <p/>"There are TV shows that are so simple, so straightforward and so purely American that you can't help but want to stick an apple pie in the oven when they're on.
