Answers
Answer:Mrs Pumphrey was a wealthy lady with a fat pet dog named Tricky. Tricky was too dear to Mrs Pumphrey. Hence, she took extra care of him. She had pampered the dog with all kinds of comforts. The dog had many coats worn according to the weather, had different cushions for his comfort and also had various dishes to eat. Some extras between meals were given to him, some malt, cod- liver oil and a bowl of Horlicks at night to make him sleep. He was also given cream cakes and chocolates. This made him fat and lethargic. He became hugely fat like a bloated sausage. His eyes bloodshot and rheumy, stared straight ahead and his tongue lolled from his jaws. I think Mrs Pumphrey’s extra-caring nature resulted in Trick’s declined health. Such an attitude can result to be fatal for the health of their kins. One should not over care for them. Exercise and proper meal are important for one’s health. The same was taken care by Dr Herriot, which resulted in the speedy recovery of Tricky.
