This documentary series follows veterinarians Peter Wright and Julian Norton as they attend to animals in need at their practices based in North Yorkshire, England. Peter's practice in the town of Thirsk, Skeldale Veterinary Centre, has historical significance, as it is the surgery where British veterinary surgeon James Herriot worked and found his inspiration for his collection of semi-autobiographic writings. Julian's practice in nearby Boroughbridge may be comparatively new, but it is bustling with animal patients, and together with their capable teams, Peter and Julian work hard to save and improve the lives of all creatures great and small.
