Publisher's Summary

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.

HE IS INCREDIBLE...........

My Partner and I have watched every episode of Dr. Pol on his TV show it is a lot of laughs and sometimes we have cried. He and his family are just the best. They are so down to earth I just wish there where more people like the Pols. Love Jan and Diane and of course cannot forget Charles their only son, because without Charles there would be no show. Watch the TV show you shall spend your time with some very special people.
