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 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.

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.
