His story

Hugo is a dog, which makes orthopaedics less a career than a calling: he has loved bones since he was a puppy. He keeps one at his feet at all times, purely for teaching. He talks about protein, never skips leg day and calls everyone mate, but he is secretly the gentlest pair of paws in the building when a frightened kid comes in with a broken arm.
