This remarkable print from March 1981 takes us back to that momentous day at Bristol University's Veterinary School. At just three years old, Major Catastrophe faced an uncertain future due to his severe heart condition. However, thanks to the pioneering efforts of veterinary experts and cutting-edge technology, this furry hero was given a second chance at life. The image showcases his resilience and determination as he effortlessly glides through the water, embodying strength and vitality.
