He showed me how to focus not just on the animals, but on the people who lived with the animals, and their loving, sometimes difficult and very wonderful connections with one another. While he is known for his wonderful writing about animals, I often think of his ability to capture people. From the first, I've tried to capture that feeling, that uplifting and heartwarming style. I can't say that I have ever quite matched the writing of James Herriot, but he has always inspired me and given me something to aim for.

We worked with cats and dogs, of course, but with farm animals, too, and apes and monkeys and angry pet raccoons, burros, crows, macaws- the variety of pets in Los Angeles was limitless. During that wonderful time, I'd be beaten senseless by a kangaroo, held hostage by a love-struck chimpanzee, chased by angry hogs, and sat on by a miniature horse inside of a well-known celebrity's home. It was a magical time, and it made perfect sense for me to read Herriot in the evenings, a grand fellow who'd roam the English countryside making veterinary house calls, effortlessly moving from draft horses to kittens, healing, telling stories. I felt a kinship with him and his magical world, and marveled at his talent for drawing me into his cast of characters. Later in life, when I too would write of my experiences with animals and their people, I would hearken to Herriot's Yorkshire Dales, and to prose so genuine that it would help inspire my own career as a writer and pet behaviorist. Herriot to me remains a superhero of sorts, who, in visiting home after home like some veterinary Santa, taught me how simple, heartwarming prose about people and their animals could rise above the commonplace, and become art.\" --\u003cstrong\u003eSteve Duno, author of Last Dog on the Hill, The Everything Cat Book and The Amazing Dog Trick Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\"Just the sort of thing you hope will imprint on the memory screen of a young child: fresh, clear, pure, and good.\" -- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonwealth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\"Herriot's well-loved tales of his life as a rural British veterinarian hold the timeless qualities of family affection, humor, loyalty, appreciation for nature, and love of animals.\" -- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ipage.ingramcontent.com\/ipage\/servlet\/ibg.common.titledetail.pd1000?selUrl=%2Fipage%2Fcustomer%2Fselectionlist%2For2100.action%3Ftype%3DALL%26pageNumber%3D4%26sortedOrder%3DTITLE%26listID%3D14464781\u0026amp;itemIndex=318\u0026amp;actionType=selList\u0026amp;productType=All%20Products\u0026amp;listID=14464781\u0026amp;sortedOrder=TITLE\u0026amp;detailsellist=Y#contributor_4521673\" data-href=\"#contributor_4521673\" class=\"doContributorSearch\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Herriot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1916-1995) was the bestselling author of memoirs including\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Creatures Great and Small\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Things Bright and Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Things Wise and Wonderful\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lord God Made Them All\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvery Living Thing\u003c\/i\u003e.
