Best Answer

Yes, there have been many famous veterinarians throughout history. However, in many cases the reason they became famous was not linked to their training as a veterinarian, so the link gets lost in the story and the history. Also, many veterinarians become famous within the field of veterinary medicine, but their contributions to society are not well recognized outside the profession.
