Cardiac arrests, burn victims, patients in need of a fitting for a prosthetic leg; it's just another day in the life of nurse Jade Pengelly. Only her patients are dogs, horses even a tortoise and a snake. She's a veterinary nurse whose worked both here and in the UK, looking after our beloved pets. She shares her experiences with patients who can't tell you where it hurts, but speak volumes with their eyes. Through the close calls with scared horses, hungry bearded dragons and condom-eating Labradors, Pengelly has new insights about why we love our pets and why she loves looking after all creatures, great and small.
