An Armful of Animals by Malcolm D. Welshman

Today I received a postcard from little Dora telling me all about her Bossman (dad) who has just published a new book called An Armful of Animals. It’s the true life experiences of Malcolm D Welshman a retired vet.

I will be reviewing the book in the very near future, I have read the first chapter and it’s absolutely amazing and a complete must for all animal lovers.However, you might need some tissues handy!

This book is independently published so a Retweet will be massively appreciated, as we all need to support our wonderful indie authors.

Here is what the very clever little dog wrote on her postcard..

Would you believe it! My Bossman, Malcolm Welshman, has decided he 
needs my assistance in promoting his new memoir, An Armful of Animals. 
Hence a picture of me and his book. An my head shot used on a poster.

Apparently, the book is about how animals, particularly dogs, have 
shaped his life as a vet. It starts when he was a lad in Nigeria where 
he had a wonderful companion called Poucher. That dog saved his 
mother’s life when their Land Rover was shunted into a ravine. And 
there are stories of him crossing the Sahara treating a lame camel and 
an ostrich on the way. And back in the UK, tackling cunning badgers, 
rearing a baby starling and being confronted with a cow stuck in a 
tree. All sounds quite fascinating. 

I can’t believe that the cover features a  black and tan dachshund, just like my Mr. Darcy! He is very impressed and is sending a postcard back to Dora (he knows a good looking pooch when he sees one!)

An Armful of Animals by Malcolm Welshman

Malcolm D. Welshman has had a lifetime filled with exciting encounters with animals. As a lad in Nigeria, he is attacked by soldier ants and terrified by a snake in his treehouse. His treasured companion, Poucher, an African bush dog, prevents him and his mother from being savaged by baboons.
Once qualified as a vet Malcolm has to attempt life-saving surgery on his beloved parrot. On a road trip across the Sahara, there is a tussle with a lame camel and the operation on an Ostrich gored by an antelope.
Settling back in West Sussex in England, he tackles a cow that’s got stuck in a tree, wily cats and battles with cunning badgers and baby bats.
He shares all these fascinating experiences in this gently humorous memoir that will guarantee to tug at the heart strings while bringing a smile to your face. Anyone who loves animals will be enchanted and enthralled.
