Where does an animal doctor work?
James Herriot was a famous doctor for animals.
He was born in Scotland in 1915.He grew up with a pet dog named Don.
Wherever he went,Don went with him.
They would often into the mountains.
After Herriot graduated from high school,
he made up his mind to be a vet,especially for dogs.
He went to college,but soon found out that to be a vet just for dogs
was impossible during that time.
Mostly,vets helped horses,cows,sheep and pigs.
As he loved animals,he continued his education.
After he graduated,he found a job in Yorkshire,England.
It was a beautiful part of England.
Herriot loved the beautiful countryside,
but treating large animals was very hard work.
Before long,Herriot noticed that people in the country also had dogs as pets.
They were never treated
when they became sick because the vets wouldn't heal them.
Herriot started treating the dogs.
At first other vets laughed at him,because he wasn't working on "real"animals.
However,the owners of the dogs were very glad that Herriot would help their pets.
They regarded their pets an members of their families.
Herriot knew exactly how they felt
when they saw their sick dogs become well agani.
He himself kept two dogs,Hector and Dan.
They would go with him in his car every day
as he went to the farms to heal sick animals.
Later in his life,
James Herriot wrote a lot about his experience
as a country vet in Yorkshire,England.
He wrote ten books,all about animals,He even wrote a book,just about dogs,
James Herriot's Dog Stories
No matter how much he loved all kinds of animals
