$\longrightarrow$ The story seems to be a blend of fiction and real-life incident. It is quite obvious for rich people to overfeed their pets due to love and affection, just like Mrs Pumphrey. We have observed how due to her pampering, the dog was overeating and became lazy and bulky. Similarly, it isn’t unusual for rich people who try to provide a luxurious life to their pets and indulge them often. However, it might be unlikely for a veterinary doctor like Dr. Herriot who went out of his way and lied about a surgery to the owner in order to save her pet from unnecessary indulgences
