"A gleaming black metal drew up before the surgery, is was Mrs. Pumphrey arrived in her huge black car to pick up Tricki"

Explanation:

                 Mr. Pumphrey was a wealthy and emotional lady who has a cute pet. It was a little dog. She named the dog Tricky. She loved him so much that she generally overfed him. Tricki had put on a lot of weight which made him lethargic and pathetic.

When doctor James Herriot saw the fat dog like a swollen sausage, he was very shocked. He made a idea and told Mrs. Pumphrey that Tricki needed treatment for a disease which was available only in hospital.  The doctor knew that Mrs. Pumphrey would not be able to keep the dog on a actual diet.
