Betty Reunites with Popular TV Veterinarian...

92-year-old Betty Taylor from Hambleton Grange care home in Thirsk reunited with friend and famous television veterinarian, Julian Norton, at his local book signing.

Betty appeared on an early episode of The Yorkshire Vet when Julian treated her Shih Tzu, Billy. The pair became good friends and stayed in touch for years, but lost touch when Julian moved to a new practise.

Betty said, ‘I’ve known Julian for so long, he used to look after my dogs and guinea pigs. I love him, he’s just wonderful.’

Betty and Julian still exchanged Christmas cards every year, so when Betty found that there was a chapter dedicated to her in Julian’s latest book, she was delighted.

In the chapter named ‘Betty’, Julian recalled an appointment he’d had with Betty’s dog, Billy. Betty had made the appointment when she became concerned with a lump she had found on Billy’s chest.

Concerned for Billy’s health, Julian took the pup into theatre and cut around the fur to get a closer look at the growth, only to find that the mysterious bump was merely a hard-boiled sweet.

Betty and Julian shared many laughs over the story, as did the three-million viewers of The Yorkshire Vet.
