The TV vet has saved countless animals and even rescued Dec Donnelly's sausage dog after it was attacked by a fox.
Dec revealed his furry friend Rocky, a gorgeous dachshund, was rushed to the vets following the scrap in his garden earlier this year.
The "cheeky" intruder left Rocky in need of medical care, but the brave pooch survived to tell the tale.

"The care & attention from Fitzpatrick referrals is so reassuring & comforting. Thanks again everyone. x"
The doctor replied: "An absolute pleasure guys x"
Earlier this year, Dec shared a picture of himself cuddled up with his pooch alongside the well-known vet, and he branded Noel and his colleagues “heroes”.
He wrote: “Another thank you to this legend and the amazing staff at Fitzpatrick referrals for taking care of Rocky after the silly sausage hurt his back again!
“We never fail to be impressed by the kindness and care shown by all. You’re heroes!”
