I jaką cenę płaci za swoją pasję?Pełna brytyjskiego humoru opowieść o desperackich działaniach, które podejmujemy z miłości do zwierząt.Gareth Steel od prawie dwudziestu lat jest weterynarzem. Pracował w wielu miejscach w Wielkiej Brytanii. Pomagał zwierzakom zarówno domowym, jak i gospodarskim w dużych miastach i na małych wsiach.
