footprints without feet
chapter 1 a triumph of surgery
write the character sketch of tricki and mrs. pumphrey.

Answer 1

Mrs. Pumphrey was a rich lady who had a small pet dog named

Tricki. She was foolishly indulgent and would pamper the dog by giving him

chocolates, cakes, juice, eggs and wine. She was ignorant and did not know that

the dog needed exercise also. So when he fell sick she was very anxious and

thought that something very serious had happened to him. She was silly but

tender hearted. She cried bitterly when Tricki was taken to the hospital. She

was a simple person and it was easy to please her. She was happy when her pet

became alright. She was grateful to Dr. Harriot for making Tricki healthy. She

went to the extent of calling it a 'Triumph of Surgery'. So we can say that

Mrs. Pumphrey was a rich, foolishly indulgent, ignorant, anxious, silly, tender

hearted, simple, easy to please, and a grateful person.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tricki was a small dog. His rich mistress pampered him. She loved him like his son. He was given princely luxuries. He had the number of beds, clothes, bowls for different occasions. Due to overfeeding by his mistress he became ugly and fatty. So her mistress took home to a vet. The vet knows the tricki real problem. He knows that Mrs. Pumphrey will not stop overfeeding tricki. Therefore out of concern, he took the dog. Mrs. Pumphrey fed him all favorite dishes. This overindulgence made tricki fat and lazy. He lost all energy. Dr. Herriot took interest in him and asked his mistress to cut down on sweet things. He was very greedy. He was fond of cream, cakes, and chocolates. He was not given plenty of exercises. A whole wardrobe was full of his clothing.

His mistress got upset when Tricki left eating, going for walks and doing anything. His mistress bewailed when he was taken to the hospital. He had no energy left. Dr. Herriot took a personal interest in him. He was only given plenty of water for two days. He regained energy and showed interest in other dogs. He enjoyed playing in their company. His mistress sent eggs and wine for him. They built him up and enriched his blood. He licked his mistress's face when he was taken back home. He was a kind, sensible and grateful dog
