[02:25.29]Wherever he went,Don went with him.
[03:06.25]They would often into the mountains.
[03:10.69]After Herriot graduated from high school,
[03:15.76]he made up his mind to be a vet,especially for dogs.
[04:32.82]He went to college,but soon found out that to be a vet just for dogs
[04:41.39]was impossible during that time.
[05:14.15]Mostly,vets helped horses,cows,sheep and pigs.

[06:50.36]but treating large animals was very hard work.
[07:28.21]Before long,Herriot noticed that people in the country also had dogs as pets.
[07:58.28]They were never treated
[08:03.74]when they became sick because the vets wouldn't heal them.
[08:43.28]Herriot started treating the dogs.
[09:11.55]At first other vets laughed at him,because he wasn't working on "real"animals.
[10:13.12]However,the owners of the dogs were very glad that Herriot would help their pets.
[10:41.57]They regarded their pets an members of their families.
[11:11.22]Herriot knew exactly how they felt
[11:15.66]when they saw their sick dogs become well agani.
[11:58.42]He himself kept two dogs,Hector and Dan.
[12:07.20]They would go with him in his car every day
[12:11.95]as he went to the farms to heal sick animals.
[12:59.10]Later in his life,
[13:03.96]James Herriot wrote a lot about his experience
[13:09.84]as a country vet in Yorkshire,England.
