Summary:

Since James Herriot first began his practice more than half a century ago, new technologies and the changing concerns of animal owners have dramatically altered the veterinarian's world. In a series of contrasting portraits, Gutkind introduces an equally impassioned lot of doctors and their sometimes eccentric patients. Animal lovers will treasure this inside look at the vet's life, from tony Manhattan practices to muddy country farms.
