In this video, Michael Ball visits the veterinary surgery run by Noel Fitzpatrick aka 'The Bionic Vet' to open his new recovery kennel area when he collects his dog Freddie.

Freddie is a Tibetan terrier who has been staying at the Fitzpatrick Referrals practice to have a pioneering new surgical hip replacement following an accident.

When Michael and his wife went back to the surgery to collect Freddie, they were also happy to officially open the innovative new kennel block at the centre.

In this video, watch Michael opening the new kennels, collecting Freddie and hear all about his life with his beloved canine companion, how he misses him during his tours and what he loves about the breed - the Tibetan Terrier.
