Book Review of No Dogs in Heaven? Scenes from the Life of a Country Veterinarian

WMRod avatar reviewed on + 171 more book reviews


A highly enjoyable book that was easy to read and hard to put down. It's much like James Herriott's "All Creatures Great and Small," written in the same style of funny, touching, very real stories to which everyone can relate. Each section of the book has short stories relating to a theme, like the "Once In A Lifetime" section of bizarre cases he never expected, and "Training The Rookie," where he tells lots of great stories about how new he was to treating farm animals. It's a terrific book!

Oh, and if you have NOT yet read Herriott's entire "All Creatures" series, run, run NOW to get the books. They are by far the best ever: laugh-out-loud funny and touching books.
