Question

write a brief character sketch of Dr. Herriot

Answer 1

Mr Herriot is a veterinary doctor. He is very kind and gentle with animals. When he sees the condition of Tricki, he is worried. He warns the dog's mistress of the consequences of over feeding the dog but she loves the dog so much that she can't change her ways.Mr Herriot's kindness and compassion compels him to do something for the dog. He admits the dog in his clinic and gives him proper food and enough exercise to help him get back in shape. Here we see Mr Herriot's determination to help the animals. We can easily say that Mr Herriot is the good neighbourly doctor we all wish to have.

Answer:

Dr James Herriot, no doubt, was an adequate veterinary surgeon. He was really worried about Tricki. He understood that the real fault of the dog was his greed for food. He never denied food. The dog had become really fat and listless. Dr Herriot instructed Mrs Pumphrey to keep Tricki on a very stren diet. He also asked her to give him a lot of exercises.

Explanation:

Dr James Herriot, no doubt, was an adequate veterinary surgeon. He was really worried about Tricki. He understood that the real fault of the dog was his greed for food. He never denied food. The dog had become really fat and listless. Dr Herriot instructed Mrs Pumphrey to keep Tricki on a very stren diet. He also asked her to give him a lot of exercises. Dr Herriot also proposed cutting down on sweets to him. He advised her that Tricki must be hospitalised for a fortnight under his observation. Dr James Herriot was practical and pragmatic. He didn't give any medical treatment to the dog. The dog was not given food, any, but lots of water. His method worked. Tricki recovery was surprisingly rapid. Tricki was transformed into a flexible and hard-muscled dog. He was not only out of danger, but was soon handed over to his mistress. The appreciative mistress thanked Dr Herriot and called his feat "a triumph of surgery"!

Dr James was intelligent enough to enjoy the best of both worlds. He was tempted to keep Tricki on as a perpetual guest. It was a happy period for Dr Herriot and his friends. He adored eggs for breakfast, and wine and brandy for lunch.
