 "'From the horse's mouth' is a fascinating, often funny and sometimes moving story of a boy who grew up on a farm in the Karoo in times when motor cars and telephones were still unknown. Curious and enthusiastic by nature, he managed not only to obtain his B.A. in spite of hardships and personal setbacks, but went on to become one of the few South Africans to qualify as a veterinary surgeon abroad, and to reach a senior position in his profession. . 'From the horse's mouth' contains a wealth of firsthand information on the history of veterinary science in South Africa and about a scientist who has made a magnificent contribution to our livestock industry, to education and training of breeder and veterinarian, to research and the well-being of the profession and to the image of our country. Yet, the lasting impression is of a man who has tackled life with zest and has enjoyed every moment of it, who is a keen observer and has strong opinions on professional and personal matters; a man who loves animals as much as people and who delights in telling - with a twinkle in the eye - about his frequent encounters with both."
