What Happens:
Herriot recounts his early days as a veterinarian's assistant in the rural Yorkshire Dales. He tells the stories of caring for sick animals (small and large) and building relationships with the often quirky owners of those animals.
How I Felt About It:
Herriot writes a highly relatable book about living and working in a small town. As someone currently living in a small rural community, I found his insights and reflections to be spot on. He has a wonderful sense of observational humor that surfaces throughout the book. Herriot has an authentic love for animals combined with his persistence against criticism that makes his character highly endearing to the reader. All in all a winner of a book that I recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, funny, insightful and enjoyable read.
