review 1: JAMES HERRIOT’S FAVORITE DOG STORIES is a small collection of previously released tales. Either you love the Late Mr. Herriot’s stories about his life and adventures as a veterinarian in and about Yorkshire, England, or you have never read his work at all. Here are ten short stories about dogs that have played a part in his life, but mostly this is about the owners of those animals. The stories range from the itinerant farm laborer whose pram contained both his pebble-ingesting dog and his worldly possessions, to rich Mrs. Pumphrey and her over-indulged Pom Tricki Woo. These stories can fill you with joy yet break your heart. In some cases it seems almost cruel that these loving little animals live only a short time in the span of a person’s life, yet can give ... moreso much joy and happiness. These stories all reflect that sentiment. I won this book through Goodreads.
review 2: for some odd reason all the different editions and versions of the longer book are included in this one title in Goodreads. I had an easier time getting the short version highlighting Herriot's FAVOURITE dog stories in an edition that was only a hundred plus pages long. my local library had two copies - one in non-fiction and one in the children's section. since i needed something for a weekend vacation this copy was much preferable to the larger 400+ page original. Either way the illustrations were wonderful but the pawprints over the pagination were annoying. less
