Answer 1

$\blue{Introduction :}$

• 'A Triumph of Surgery ' by James Herriot is a story about a pet dog, Tricki, who is spoiled by his Mistress.
• Even after a veterinary surgeon raises concerns about Tricki's lifestyle, his Mistress couldn't stop herself from spoiling him.
• This eventually costs Tricki his health, and he has to be hospitalised for a fortnight.
• In this story, the narrator is Mr. Heriot, who is the veterinary surgeon concerned about Tricki's health.

$\red{Required \: answer :}$

• Yes, I think Mr. herriot is tactful as well as full of common sense.
• In the beginning when he first saw Mrs. pumphrey and Tricki on their walk he tried to show her his concern by asking general questions about the dog's lifestyle and also recommends her some solutions and things to look out for.
• And later when she comes to him for help, he admits Tricki into his surgery.
• There he doesn't treat him with medicinal treatment.
• He just provides him with a lifestyle and an environment that's healthy for dogs.
• He gives him sufficient food to eat and no overfeeding.
• He keeps him in company of other dogs , which gets him to work and be more active.
• All of this in turn helps in improving Tricki's health quickly.
• In this way , we can say that Dr. Herriot had taken the right decision at the right time.
