More about the book
It's 1973 and the three-day week turns life at the RSPCA Animal Hospital at Harmsworth upside down. When a Colombian friend suggests a spell as a vet in South America, David Grant jumps at the chance. However, the lessons he learns in Colombia are not those he expected: how to deal with the mafia, how to avoid being mugged, how to avoid guerrilla raids. When David saves the life of the local drug baron's dog, his future seems secure, but his refusal to carry out unnecessary treatment leads to a cash crisis. He solves it by becoming a part-time English teacher, which in turn leads to romance. Here is his heartwarming and humorous tale of his adventures.
