Six years ago, viewers first witnessed the work of the nation’s favourite vet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, saving the lives of hundreds of animals on a journey of challenges, hope and joy at Fitzpatrick Referrals – his unique practice  – where the team dedicate their professional lives to finding solutions, often where none seem possible.

But what happened next?

This brand-new, four-part series revisits some of the most dramatic and inspiring cases, catching up with the families and discovering what became of the animals at the heart of these extraordinary stories.

The first episode focuses on the most irresistible patients of all: puppies.

“The team here go all gooey when a puppy comes in” says Noel, “and we get no work done for about an hour.”

This four-part series will air every Thursday at 8pm on Channel 4, starting on 2nd July 2020.
