Dr Harry's next move 'I WILL NEVER RETIRE!'

RECENT HEALTH ISSUES AREN’T KEEPING THE BELOVED TV VET DOWN

Australia’s most loved and respected veterinarian, Dr Harry Cooper, is fast approaching his 80th birthday, but don’t think that means he has any plans to slow down.

“They’ll retire me – I’m not ready to retire!” a defiant Harry tells New Idea from his home in Port Macquarie, NSW. With a smile he adds, “and even then I’ll go find something else to do because I can’t ever imagine not doing something.”

Not even a recent bout of shingles could keep the TV favourite from his regular presenting gig on Better Homes and Gardens for too long.
