Along Herriott's lines...

Just as good as James Herriott Books. American twist and great for animal lovers and those who love Texas. Interesting. Read by my 15 year old niece as well and got her started on reading.

You'll want to keep it and read it again!

Any human that is owned by any kind of city or country critter will really enjoy this book...it is filled with hilarious adventures and heart warming, tear jerking accounts of the daily life of a citified rural veterinarian, just trying to do the work he loves the best he can, and still maintain his sanity. This book has earned a 'keep it and read it again' spot right next to my collection of James Herriot's memoirs.

A Veterinarian for all animals

Heartwarming, heart tugging and funny--it's a perfect book for any animal lover. Think Cleveland Amory meets Baxter Black. More like James Herriot's writing than anything I ever read. A fun and easy-to-read collection of short stories that truly describes the life of a Texas veterinarian. I couldn't put it down!

A Must Read for All Animal Lovers at Heart
