Not quite up to par with Herriot..... BUT
While Younker's gift for story telling is not quite up to the level of a James Herriot, who is? All that aside it is one of the most entertaining comtemporary books written by an American veterinarian. It is definitely on a par with David Taylor's "Zoo Vet".

Lucas Younker's love for animals and compassion show throughout the book. While nonconventional for that time, he would hardly draw a second glance today. One of my first thoughts after reading this book was "I wonder if he is still in practice" and "I wish he could care for my pets".

All in all, it is a somewhat salty and probably much more realistic portrayal of a vet's life, but yet still manages to touch you and make you feel his passion for animals.
