Question

Distinguish between pumphrey method and herriot method

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Pumphrey loved Tricki, her pet dog, very much. When she found that Tricki was no more active and energetic, she tried to give more nutrients in his food to make him more energetic like malt, cod-liver oil and a bowl of Horlicks, an extra diet of cream cakes & chocolates. But she was not giving him exercises. Infact, Tricki was not suffering from any disease. Mr. Herriot found out the main cause of his ailment, i.e., his greed for over-eating. Mr. Herriot gave him a controlled diet, recovered him from lethargy caused by overeating and excessive fat.

So, Mr. Herriot’s method could be regarded better of two as he understood the cause and remedy of the disease. He was able to treat the dog by being strict with him regarding diet and physical activities.

Answer 2

Herriot's method was the best.

• Tricky was Mrs. Pumphrey's pet dog.
• When Pumphrey found that her pet dog is active, she thought it was due to a lack of nutrients.
• So she just pampered the dog and added more food supplements to his diet.
• But Herriot understood that the dog was not having any disease.
• The dog was just greedy for the food.
• So he controlled its diet and made the dog do physical activities.
• This saved the dog from lethargy.
