With this second of the series, TEXAS DOC continues the popular anecdotal stories begun in DALLAS DOC, the true-life portrayal behind the zany adventures and poignant moments that make up a twenty-five year veterinary practice in treating critters of every shape and size - from gerbils, cats and canines...to horses, cows and cougars. Doc recaptures the daily escapades with his jovial partner, Dr. Rich Vest, and indomitable assistants, Tracy and Rachel, who are with him every step of the way as he meets more eccentric owners and their endearing animals pals: There's Columbo, a kitten caught in the middle of a fire and a crime; the tattooed lady with a pet ferret; a mystery on the range threatening thirty thousand sheep; and a farmer's corporate fight to keep his pets in a pig-waller at the shopping mall.

pure fantasy May 06, 2006
Having worked as an "assistant" for "Doc" for many years I was very disappointed to read this book. He could have told some great true stories that would be interesting and funny, so I'm not sure why he choose to make up these characters and stories which are painful to read. If you work in veterinary medicine don't waste your time. These books are definitely for laymen who don't know the difference. Stick with James Herriot.

Lots of fun Jun 05, 2004
If you enjoyed "Dallas Doc" you will certainly enjoy the continued adventures of the people and animals you got to know in the first book. If you haven't read the first book, I recommend it but it's not necessary.

The writing style is different - anecdotes instead of prose. It's fast reading because of this and the characters do come through quite well. If you're looking for books like those of James Herriot you may be disappointed, however, but should enjoy the stories in their own right.
