Answer:
Ans. Tricki was definitely more than a dog. Actually, he was like a pampered child of Mrs Pumphrey. Tricki was a small dog. The only fault of Tricki was his greed for food. Overfeeding and overdose of sweets, cakes and chocolates made Tricki hugely fat. He became rheumy and listless. His tongue lolled from his jaws. The doctor advised Mrs Pumphrey to keep Tricki on a very strict diet and give him plenty of exercises.
Tricki became a victim of overindulgence and overfeeding. Dr Herriot’s instructions were ignored. Troicki lost appetite and started vomiting. Dr Herriot suggested Mrs Pumphrey that Trick’ be hospitalised under his observation for a fortnight. Tricki was so much attached to her that she almost fainted merely at the thought of his separation. Tricki was highly pampered. The entire staff and maids were ever-ready to pamper time with beds, cushions, toys, etc.
Tricki’s recovery was amazingly rapid. He was not given food but plenty of water. After a few days, Tricki started taking an interest in his surroundings. He was transformed into a flexible and hard-muscled dog. Tricki showed his love for his mistress by jumping onto her lap when she came to collect him.
