Supervet Special: Saving My Dog, 8pm, C4
In a very moving special episode of Supervet, Noel Fitzpatrick is devastated when his beloved 13-year-old Border terrier Keira is run over outside the practice. The distress of both Keira and her ‘daddy’ are hard to watch, as the terrier first undergoes surgery carried out by one of Noel’s colleagues, and then an orthopaedic op that he performs himself, and proves trickier than anticipated. What really comes across is just how much Noel dotes on this adorable dog, which makes his unruffled professionalism in theatre all the more impressive.
