I wanted to like this, who doesn't like a book about dogs right? I hate it, can't even finish it. It is written so slow and boring I would rather watch paint dry.

Highly recommended if you love dogs, or just love charming, well-written stories and characters. This one is just as much about the owners as it is about the dogs. I read this after watching and enjoying the first two seasons of the recent All Creatures Great and Small series. Really liked this one.

Series of short stories, very sweet. I read this as a child and it was as good as I remembered as an adult.

Although none of these stories were new to me - I've read all his books many times - I loved the introduction and the little notes at the end, some giving an end to the tale, others explaining context or sharing something about the real people.
I probably wouldn't buy it in addition to all the others (which I already own) but it was a fun read and would make a great gift for a dog-lover, or will act as an entry book into the world of a rural Yorkshire vet in the 1940s. It reminded me of how touching, poignant or downright strange some of these stories were - and how much I laughed!
