He also runs an emergency service for animals in Dorset and a pet travel company. Luke is a black belt in karate, has run 152 miles across the Sahara to raise money for his charity (and to impress his wife) and in 2010 was awarded the JA Wight (James Herriot) Award by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association for outstanding contributions to the welfare of companion animals.Luke is married (to a vet) and lives in the New Forest with his two children, a ridgeback and a bossy rescue cat called Charlie.
