Description

The star of The Unbelievable Dr. Pol shares his amusing, and ceaselessly poignant, tales from his four decades as a vet in rural Michigan.
 
Dr. Jan Pol isn’t your typical veterinarian. Born and raised the Netherlands on a dairy farm, he’s the star of Nat Geo Wild’s hit show The Unbelievable Dr. Pol 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.
 
From the time he was once twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his circle of relatives’s farm to the Unbelievable moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories of what it’s like taking care of 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 with the intention 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.

Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir a good way to delight animal lovers all over.
