Wild at Heart

It is Danny’s first day as State Vet and when he helps rescue some smuggled animals he feels he’s making a difference. However, he discovers the role isn’t going to be all plain sailing when it looks like one of the sick animals, a cheetah is going to be put down because there are no rehabilitation centres in the province. Rather than let that happen Danny brings her back to Leopard’s Den for treatment. Danny is horrified to discover that his neighbour Vanessa was going to buy the cheetah illegally, even though she insists she didn’t know it was smuggled. Against Alice’s advice, Danny decides to fine Vanessa – friend or not he has to be impartial, even though she’s struggling to keep Mara afloat.
