This is fun to listen to. Herriot must have worked in England as a veterinarian before World War II. Therefore, you get a real sense of what the world was like then--fairly calm, although he was rather poor. However, animals and their relationships with humans do not change. People do not change, only their environment. So today, we have to take our animals to the vet, rather than have the vet come to the animals. I suppose horse and cattle vets do go to the farms. I recall one coming to my uncle's farm to vaccinate the cows against brucellosis, a disease that can be passed to humans in the milk. Enjoy the listen.
