summary/
The story starts when Mrs. Pumphrey, a
rich lady takes her dog out for a walk. A
nearby veterinary doctor who knows the
lady sees the dog and is shocked as he
notices that the dog looks like a bloated
sausage with a leg at each end.
20 Mins
The doctor advises her to stop giving
him unhealthy things to eat but Mrs.
Pumphrey is not able to refuse him. Soon
he falls sick and the doctor is called.
The narrator, Mr. Herriot then somehow
takes Tricki, the dog to the hospital even
though he knows that Mrs. Pumphrey is
not ready to leave her dog and nearly
fainted just by hearing these words. Then
he takes the dog along and puts a bed for
him in his surgery. The dog doesn't move
much nor eats anything for the first two
days
 NOTES OF LESSON FOR THE CURRENT SESSION:
QUESTION AND ANSWERS:
1. Why is Mrs Pumphrey worried about Tricki?
A: Mrs Pumphrey is worried about Tricki because he is unwell. He has refused to eat food and had bouts
of vomiting. She feels that he is suffering from a serious health issue such as malnutrition.

2. What does she do to help him? Is she wise in this?

A: Mrs Pumphrey starts giving him extra snacks like malt, cod-liver oil and Horlicks, apart from his main
meals, to improve his condition. She also continues to satisfy his sweet tooth with cream cakes and
chocolates. She does not give him any exercise, considering his listlessness as well. She is not wise in
doing so because overfeeding Tricki is worsening his conditions instead of improving it. It has made him
very fat and lazy

3. How did Mr. Pumphrey and her servant behave when Tricki was being sent to the surgery?
A: The entire staff was roused, maids rushed in and out bringing his day bed, night bed, cushion, toys.
Everybody was in tears. Mrs. Pumphrey gave a desperate cry, when Tricki was sent to surgery.

4. Why did Mrs. Pumphrey make a frantic call to Mr. Herriot? OR What was Tricki’s ailment? How did
it worry Mrs. Pumphrey?
A: Mrs. Pumphrey had a dog named Tricki. Indirectly, she was responsible for the dog’s illness. She gave
him little extra between meals i.e., malt, cod-liver oil, etc. He was not given any physical exercise. So,
the dog fell ill and started vomiting also. It made Mrs. Pumphrey so much worried that she had to call the
veterinary surgeon, Dr. Harriot for his treatment.

5. Why was Dr. Herriot confident that Tricki will be in hospital soon?
A: Dr. Herriot was shocked to see Tricki’s condition. He knew that the latter would soon be hospitalised
as he was unable to move. He had become hugely fat, like a bloated sausage and his tongue lolled from
his jaws.

6. How would you describe the behavior of the rich woman Mrs. Pumphrey’s, pampering and over
feeding Tricky?
A: Mrs. Pumphrey behaved in a very silly and thoughtless manner by over pampering Tricky. Indirectly,
she was responsible for his ill health. It was totally a waste of money. But this behaviour is very common
among rich people. It is a general problem of those who live alone.

7. What suggestions were given by Dr. Herriot to Mrs. Pumphrey at the initial stage?
A: Dr. Herriot suggested Mrs. Pumphrey to cut down on the sweet things and not to give extra food to
him. He also suggested her to give him more exercises and keep him on a very strict diet.
