Fitzpatrick first came to mainstream attention in 2010 with the television series The Bionic Vet which chronicled his work at Fitzpatrick Referrals and then in 2014 with the hugely successful series The Supervet - the soubriquet by which he is still known to this day. His previous books include three memoirs, and the bestselling Dogs and their Humans. Over the Rainbow Bridge is his first picture book.
