About the Book
As a little boy, climbing through the lochs and mountains of Argyll with his Irish Setter, Don, all James Herriot wanted to be was a 'dog doctor', so he could care for man's best friend. In this classic collection of stories, the country vet tells us about some of the dogs who, over the years, won a special place in his heart. From Tricki Woo, the little Pekinese suffering from 'flop-butt', Clancy, the menacing Irish Wolfhound who nobody would go near, to Brandy, the Labrador who can't keep out of dustbins. They're joined by lovable dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes in this celebration of the limitless affection and loyalty of our closest companions.
