E hangoskönyvben a kiváló állatorvos, egyszersmind nagyszerű író lebilincselő stílusú történeteit hallhatjuk átélt, valóságos élményeiről. Találkozhatunk a kutyatársadalom legkülönbözőbb rendű és rangú szereplőivel. Azonban nem csak róluk, hanem gazdáikról is szórakoztató portrékat fest a szerző, akinek írásait mindig áthatja orvosi felelőssége, állatszeretete és humánuma.

Mikor határoztam el, hogy állatorvos leszek? Még a percre is pontosan emlékszem. Tizenhárom éves voltam, olvastam egy cikket a fiúknak ajánlott pályákról és úgy éreztem, ez való nekem. Szerettem a kutyákat és a macskákat, az irodai munka pedig egyáltalán nem vonzott. Szinte láttam magam előtt, ahogy a házi kedvenceket a saját állatkórházamban gyógyítom. Hogy a csudába történhetett hát, hogy itt ülök egy yorkshire-i dombon ingujjban, gumicsizmában és enyhe tehénszagom van?

A Yorkshire-i állatorvos történeteinek folytatását is azoknak ajánljuk, akik átérzik az állatokkal járó örömöket, gondokat, és szívesen merülnek el újra meg újra a korabeli jellegzetes angol vidék életének sokszor humoros eseményeiben.

A szerző a vidéki állatorvosi pálya küzdelmes, fordulatos, gyakran felettébb derűs élményeiről mesélve Yorkshire tájaira vezet el minket. Nem csak az állatokról, hanem a gazdikról is mulatságos, szórakoztató portrékat fest. Minden mondatából mély humánum, derű és kiváló emberismeret árad.
