ABSTRACT: As a registered veterinary nurse based in a small-town independent practice, I always felt there was more I could be doing, whether it was here in the UK or somewhere else in the world. That is when I came across an advert seeking a Registered Veterinary Nurse to volunteer for 6 months in Sri Lanka. It sounded absolutely perfect being able to do the job I love in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and, on top of this, being able to make a real difference. So I set about making this dream a reality and, before I knew it, I was chasing stray dogs around on the streets of south Sri Lanka!
