 Dog Stories August 7, 2009
B. Rawls (coastal, rural North Carolina)
James Herriot's Dog Stories is an interesting collection of stories from Dr. Herriot's actual experiences as a country veterinarian. I like this book because it includes a variety of characters and settings. It was delightful because I could read one story at a time or many stories. Each story had a special impact. I like his style of clarity and honesty, with pleasant dashes of humor or pathos.
 short but delightful... July 6, 2008

James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories is a short but delightful book written by the world famous veterinarian. It is beautifully illustrated by Lesley Holmes.
This book consists of ten stories from Herriot's previous books that feature dogs that he has treated over the years. It's difficult to pick a favorite as they all have amazing personalities. There is Brandy, who is such a scrounger that he gets his tongue stuck in tin cans that he digs out of the trash can. TrickiWoo, a Pekingese, picks winning horses at the races. And Gyp, an epileptic sheepdog, only barked once in his entire life. Although all the dogs have special characteristics, it is obvious that it would take a veterinarian with compassion and humor to see that these animals are more than just pets.
I truly enjoyed Favorite Dogs Stories. However, if you've already read Herriot's other books (which I haven't), you will find that they're repeats.

All of James Herriot's books are great. This is another one. All dogs are unconditional love on four legs.
