Peter Wright

Peter Wright is a British veterinary surgeon and television personality known for his warm, down-to-earth approach to animal care and his appearances on Channel 5's The Yorkshire Vet. Based in the Yorkshire Dales, Wright has spent decades caring for animals of all sizes, from farm livestock to beloved family pets. The Tales and Tails of a Yorkshire Vet is a charming and heartwarming collection of stories from his life and career in rural veterinary practice. The book captures the joys, challenges, and occasional absurdities of life as a country vet, told with warmth, humour, and genuine love for the animals and communities he serves. Wright's career echoes the tradition of James Herriot, the legendary Yorkshire vet and author, and he has become a beloved figure in his own right through his television work and writing. His stories celebrate the bond between people and animals and the beauty of the Yorkshire landscape. The Tales and Tails of a Yorkshire Vet is available as an audiobook alongside the print edition, offering listeners an entertaining and heartfelt way to enjoy Wright's stories from the surgery, the farm, and the Dales.
