Publisher's summary

This 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. Christopher Timothy, the star of television's All Creatures Great and Small, and acknowledged "voice" of Dr. Herriot, lovingly narrates this new collection of the good doctor's canine encounters.

Here are tales of golden retrievers and sheepdogs, beagles and dachshunds, purebreds and crossbreeds, and just plain mutts - and, of course, Tricki Woo, Mrs. Pumphrey's memorable Pekinese. Each tale is suffused with the humor, wisdom and humanity of one of the greatest storytellers of our time: James Herriot.

my favorite author

James Herriot's depiction of his journeys with animals is nothing but heart warming and captivating. He has a way of making you laugh and cry on the same page.

Wonderful narrator.

Same story’s taken from his earlier books. Still loved them but I would have liked new stories for my credit.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Have listened to all James Herriot's books on Audible -- so knew the stories. It was still enjoyable to hear some of the best again in this compilation.

Wonderful

I loved this. If this is your first James Herriot book you are in for a real treat.I have listened many times to the four volume series of James Herriot. I was familiar with all of these stories but I really enjoyed the added tidbits. Did you know that Mrs. Pumphrey helped the first Chinese restaurant in Darrowby to succeed by eating there with Tricky Wu? James Herriot also talks about his other dogs and his last dog, Bodie, who brought him the most pleasure of all.

James Herriot’s Dog Stories

Oh, I do enjoyed these stories. The narrator was perfect. I could picture the dogs, people and scenery like I was there. I read a number of James Herriot books years ago. Can’t wait to listen to them now.

all James Herriot's stories are TERRIFIC

His stories may go back over 70 years, but I cherish each and every story. I laugh, I cry and I learn. Everyone should enjoy such stories.
