Some things to note about these books.
If you watched any of the TV episodes on PBS, the guy who plays Siegfried, his boss, is nothing like him in the books. The TV Siegfried character is definitely unpleasant.
From the descriptions you might think the books are about him doctoring animals, but the animal stuff is the backdrop; the stories are all about people. They're definitely very people-centric.
They're warm hearted and often funny.
