James Herriot's Dog Stories cover

A classic collection of stories from the world's most popular vet, James Herriot, about the animal he loves the most.

As a little boy, climbing through the lochs and mountains of Argyll with his Irish Setter Don, all James Herriot wanted to be was a ‘dog doctor’ so he could care for man’s best friend.

In this classic collection of stories, we are introduced to some of the dogs who won a special place in the country vet’s heart – from Tricki Woo, the little Pekinese suffering from ‘flop-butt’ to Clancy the dog who nobody would go near and Gyp, the sheepdog who only ever barked once in his life. They’re joined by lovable dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes, celebrating the limitless affection and loyalty of our closest companions.

Filled with magical storytelling and from the treasured author of All Creatures Great and Small, James Herriot’s Dog Stories is told with his usual wit and human compassion – the perfect gift for dog-lovers everywhere.

The tales can be read and re-read . . . what shines through all the stories is that dogs give us enormous pleasure. * Sunday Times *
James Herriot provokes a chuckle, or a lump in your throat, in every chapter. * Daily Mirror *
