review 1: This book is really touching as well as heartbroken story.This story is based on what James Herriot experienced during his life as a dog doctor. So he sometimes has to face to his favorite and beloved dogs' deaths. Since I have a dog, it was so easy to connect to his feeling toward the dogs. I also learned many facts about dogs. I have been loving dogs for years but this book made me loving dogs even more.
review 2: Written by James Herriot - Audio book performed by Christopher Timothy (plays Herriot in the popular BBC series) - Unabridged Nonfiction - 2 CASSETTES - 3 hoursPublisher, Audio Renaissance (September 1996)"In this sequel to his 1994 Favorite Cat Stories, the erstwhile veterinarian spins more loving yarns of the animal world; this time, though, the h... moreeartwarming tales are about dogs, and dog lovers will certainly be satisfied. The nine stories that make up this slim volume range from moving and poignant (old dogs, dying dogs, dying dog owners) to clever and silly (fat, spoiled, pompous little dogs, absurdly doting owners) to fond reminiscences of Herriot's own pets. Herriot, who died in 1995, was the author of several books both for adults and for children and is popular for the love, warmth, and humor expressed in his work and the keen insights inherent in his writing, derived from years of veterinary work. This posthumous piece is no exception; fans of Herriot's previous works and animal lovers everywhere will enjoy this collection." --Kathleen Hughes, BooklistThis enchanting program collects some of the Yorkshire vet's favorite stories about one of his favorite animals, each tale as memorable and heartwarming as the last.
