Description

The human is supposed to be top animal, but every one of these true stories shows how ridiculous that idea can be... As an RSPCA Inspector based in North Yorkshire in the 1980s, Carter Langdale found himself at the heart of rural life.

Part doctor, part vicar, part undertaker – you name it, the locals decided that he was the man to help them and their animals.

Each day brought a new, and often absurd, challenge.

Whether he was rescuing a cow stuck halfway down a ravine, a tortoise trying to cross the road, or being presented with an injured owl at his door, Carter never knew what was coming next.

Evoking James Herriot’s classic memoirs as well as My Family and Other Animals, Langdale’s stories, some hilarious, some likely to bring a tear to the eye, are told with great humour and sympathy.

For animal lovers, this is an absolute treat.
