You cannot give a wrong answer to this personal interest question. Think back to any of the founding fathers (and mothers!) of animal medicine and whose story resonates with you the most. They may have overcome something you can relate to or discovered/created/invented something you admire. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Add passion to your answer so the interviewers can sense a genuine interest.
