“Celebrity pets—they’re just like ours! . . . [But] the real stars of the book are the animals; their stories celebrate the powerful connections between people and their pets.”—Washington Post

"We enjoyed every word. Like Dad’s books, Pets and the City is as much about people as it is about animals. It is truly fascinating—so very different from country veterinary practice in Yorkshire! Her love of animals comes through loud and clear, as does her instinctive understanding of the relationship between the owners and their pets, and the good it does for both parties....Just as our father, the real James Herriot, was, Dr. Attas is a dedicated and caring veterinarian with the welfare of both patient and customer her priority. The book is a worthy tribute to her profession, and we wish it well.”—James Wight M.R.C.V.S. and Dr. Rosie Page, son and daughter of James Herriot, author of All Creatures Great and Small

“Brimming with great stories and heart in equal measure, Pets and the City is prime reading for anyone who has ever spent time in the company of animals. Attas gives us an eye-opening account of what it's like to be NYC's premier house-call vet, sharing touching and outrageous stories of clients both human and animal. She's been witness to the strangest and most extravagant animal-human relationships the city has to offer, and we get to go along with her (without having to administer intravenous fluids).”—Alexandra Horowitz, New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog
