Did you know Dr. Evans and Dr. Bishop filmed a sizzle reel for a reality TV series? Well, they did and are only slightly embarrassed by it!
This came to be because Dr. Evans and Bishop started working on an idea to travel down through Central and South America and provide free veterinary care to remote villages along the way (while also stopping to surf – but that was definitely a secondary reason as far as they will ever admit). They started making these plans prior to Dr. Bishop even starting veterinary school! Both doctors had spent a considerable amount of time in various parts of that region and fell in love with the people, the land, the culture, and also saw the animal need that exists there as well. Since Dr. Evans already had a mobile/housecall practice, working in the field would not be anything new and they believed they could do a lot of good along the way.
It was speaking with friends about this idea that connected them to a producer, Josh Haygood, who is also an animal lover and instantly connected with their vision. He offered to create a sizzle reel to see if there would be any way to get funding for the trip to be filmed as they were sure it would be an intense and gripping adventure.
While the funding never materialized, both doctors keep the idea alive and hope to someday (with or without cameras) complete this dream and bring their skill set to animals who don’t otherwise have access to the care that they deserve.
Enjoy!
Love the sizzle reel! Its so great!
We are so excited for you both…We will never forget all of us on the porch, saying goodbye to Zelda. It was the ultimate house call. We love you both. Take care. Bill and Diane and Josef and Julia
Very enjoyable piece. Please tell Bishop he is going regret his move. I lived in Salem OR for 3 years and 9 months. Then I came home!
Awesome! To think that pulling a couple teeth saved that horse’s life!! That’s incredible.
Make it a great day!
Josh
I loved the Sizzle film, maybe one day!
Good luck Greg, you will love the great NW!
That was an awesome clip…maybe we can make a pitch to hollywood to pick it up to keep Dr. Bishop here??? Our yorkies, Rocky and Roscoe will miss him dearly…he has been amazing with them and we really appreciate all of his hard work and care. Safe travels doc!
We are really going to miss Dr. Bishop! Oregon is lucky to get him. Come on back to Encinitas when you’re tired of the rain????
Incredible hearts! Hoping this dream comes true one day!
Really enjoyed the film. Great job you two. We are really sorry to hear that Dr. Bishop is leaving for Oregon. Gracie might not mind after her last visit but you can’t please everyone. Had I known you had contacts in our wonderful zoo I would have asked for names. I was thinking our 11 year old American Bison might fit in to one of their parks, SD Zoo or Safari. I can’t let Cheyanne become a “Bison Burger”. Never.
Best luck to you and your family.
Loved the sizzle reel!! Not only are these two incredibly professional and knowledgeable vetenarians, but they are two wonderful souls whose work makes such a difference in not only the animals’ lives, but also their humans. Check out their Hana Fund.
We will miss you, Dr.Bishop, but know that you are moving to Oregon for a greater cause.
We fully expect you to be back, though .????

What a fantastic idea! I hope you’ll still find a way to do it in at least some small way in the future. Jonah and I all wish Dr. Bishop all the best in Portland, and can’t say as we blame him for heading north to some sanity and far fewer humans.
