"When I decided to be a vet, I knew that I wanted to be a dog doctor, so I could spend all my time with dogs." - from the Introduction

James Herriot would go on to become so much more than a dog doctor. But no animal was dearer to his heart, and no animal provided him with more heartwarming and wonderful tales. With over a million copies sold, James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories has inspired dog lovers the world over. After being out of print for many years, it is now again available in an affordable, beautifully repackaged hardcover edition, filled with original watercolors that illustrate Herriot's charming and wholesome tales.

This classic heartwarming collection of ten stories about dogs - from border collies and sheepdogs to the exploits of Tricki Woo, the unforgettable Pekinese - by the late author of All Creatures Great and Small is prefaced by a moving introduction from Herriot himself - the very last piece of writing the beloved author ever completed. So, follow the master veterinarian as he journeys through Yorkshire, caring for big dogs and small with his characteristic gentleness and peace, profound observation, and deep, loving humor.

About this title

About the Author:

JAMES HERRIOT was a veterinarian in Yorkshire, England for over half a century until his death in 1995. His bestselling books have sold more than twenty million copies in the English language alone; they include All Creatures Great and Small; All Things Bright and Beautiful; All Things Wise and Wonderful; The Lord God Made Them All; and Every Living Thing.

From AudioFile:

With all the escapades James Herriot captured in his stories of life as an English country vet, favorites are inevitable. Christopher Timothy, who played the British veterinarian on television, conveys his relish for the countryside and country folk, not to mention the animals. Timothy delivers the stories with cozy reminiscence and a soft burr. Collected from Herriot's various volumes, this title and Favorite Cat Stories are sold as two-cassette programs. Herriot's generous nature and honest concern coupled with Timothy's friendly style are a winning combination. The short length of these programs will also attract listeners. A great opportunity to introduce new listeners to audio. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
