Far and Wild: Adventures of The Worldwide Vet

You might know Dr. Cliff Redford as the friendly veterinarian who answers burning pet questions on Canada's Global News, but Dr. Cliff is also a globetrotter, a risk-taker, a marathoner, a black belt, a loving father, and a guy who just can't sit down. But his best-known role is as a champion to animals the world over: the Worldwide Vet.

In this charming memoir, Dr. Cliff opens up about his life and travels as a veterinarian without borders, sharing insights from his surprising, funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and often dangerous work. From well-fed Athens street cats, to a monkey in India in a dangerous situation, a cyclopean crocodile in Jamaica named one-eyed Jack, and people's beloved pets around the globe — Dr. Cliff helps them all, with his vast veterinary knowledge, his jovial wit, and his big heart.

Part vet stories and part personal odyssey, Far and Wild shines a light on the trials and tribulations of veterinary medicine as Dr. Cliff carefully details the techniques and procedures he uses to diagnose and treat his patients. It will also teach you a little about that most enigmatic of animals — people — as he tells the story of his own journey and highlights passionate teams all around the world who dedicate their lives to fight for the creatures who can't fight for themselves.
