Dr. Jan Pol is not your typical veterinarian. Born and raised on a dairy farm in the Netherlands, he is the star of Nat Geo Wild's hit show The Incredible Dr. Pol and has been treating animals in rural Michigan since the 1970s. Dr. Pol's 20,000-plus patients have ranged from white mice to 2,600-pound horses and everything in between. From the time he was 12 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 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. Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal lovers everywhere.

it took me some time to adjust to the difference in the narrator's voice from Dr. Pol's as all along I was mentally hearing the way Dr. Pol would have said it and wondered if others would pick up on the humor and sarcasm sprinkled throughout the book by Dr. Pol if they had never heard him for themselves. so in places where it seems the Dr. is saying something as if he were harsh or inhumane, believe me he is not, but rather is being sarcastic or humorous ( at least in his attempt). Anyways, excellent book. I am a farmer and learned much from this and enjoyed it all along the way.

Love the simplistic way of treating animals. Wish the narrator was Dr. Pol. The mid western vet who loves his job. I learn slot from him.

Dr.Pol is always entertaining.

I look forward to listening to this book again. I loved the partnership with his wife and son. Saddens me to know that people have time and energy to sue people like this wonderful man.

One of My Favorites

The book was as entertaining as his show. It was nice to learn the backstory of how the show came about and it also reiterates his dedication to animals.

Love Dr Pol

The book sounds like it was written exactly the way he talks. It was very entertaining and very informative about the farming in Amish communities. I hope you write another book.

The incredible Dr. Pol
