The original book of the series, "Dr. DoLittle" is the tale of a little, lovable, old doctor who had so many animal pets that his patients finally would not come to see him any more and he became poorer and poorer. But he grew busier for he became the animals' own doctor and his fame spread far and wide among them, especially since he could talk to them. At last came a call from the monkeys in Africa, suffering from an epidemic and the good Doctor set sail at once. In return fo rhis services in Africa, the Doctor is presented with a brand new pet, an animal called the Pushme-Pullyu, which has two heads so it can eat and talk at the same time without being impolite. He is charmed with the creature and it becomes the emans of his living in comfort for the rest of his days.
