short but delightful...:
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.
Great book:
I read his books as a teen and loved them. Bought the whole set for my grandsons, (teens). They laughed until they cried. (so did I).
loving creatures:
All of James Herriot's books are great. This is another one. All dogs are unconditional love on four legs. Stephen Richey author of The Galley
Long commute:
I drive an hour each way to and from work, and this enjoyable book made the time go by quickly.
Heart-warming and true stories:
This is an exceptional book of true stories from the author's actual experiences... a heart-warming book that will bring laughter, tears, and a thorough enjoyment for readers of all ages.
