Siegfried had pointed out that if he were to insert a raw onion in Mr. Sidlow, would undoubtedly be uneasy on his legs. She has been discussing with Herriot that one of her main concerns about her own death is whether she will be united with her pets who have already passed away. In her religion, she has been told that animals do not have souls, and she is concerned they will not be in her heaven. However, Herriot disagrees, and does feel that animals have souls.
This quote emphasizes Herriot's love and awe of animals, as he praises them for their loyalty and gratitude, presenting animals as kinder beings than many humans. The religious allusion to the soul is also strengthened by the strong biblical undercurrent of the novel, and the allusion in the title. Furthermore, this quote is indicative of Herriot's generous and considerate nature, as he uses this reasoning to console a grieving elderly lady.
In this quote, Herriot is experiencing his second winter in the Dales. The season is very harsh, and often he has to park his car and walk through a mile of snow just to get to the farms.
