James Herriot's Dog Stories - Heartwarming Animal Tales by the World-Famous Veterinarian & Author

As a boy exploring the lochs and mountains of Argyll with his Irish Setter, Don, James Herriot knew exactly what he wanted: to become a “dog doctor” and look after man’s best friend. James Herriot’s Dog Stories draws on that lifelong affection, bringing together a classic selection of tales centred on the dogs he came to know as a country vet.

The collection introduces memorable canine characters, from Tricki Woo, a little Pekinese with “flop-butt”, to Clancy, the dog nobody would go near, and Gyp, the sheepdog who barked only once in his life. Alongside them are dogs of many breeds, shapes and sizes, presented as close companions known for affection and loyalty. From the treasured author of All Creatures Great and Small, these stories are told with Herriot’s familiar wit and human compassion.
