View answers
- 1. (c) James Herriot — It is by James Herriot.
- 2. (d) dog — Tricki was her little dog.
- 3. (a) overfed and pampered — Overfeeding and pampering made him ill.
- 4. (b) vet — He is a veterinary surgeon.
- 5. Because he was overfed and pampered, growing fat and listless.
- 6. By giving him a strict diet and plenty of exercise.
- 7. The story makes its point through the example of Mrs Pumphrey and her dog Tricki. Out of deep affection, Mrs Pumphrey constantly indulges Tricki with rich food, sweets and treats, ignoring the vet's advice to cut down his diet and give him exercise. The result is that Tricki becomes grossly overweight, lazy and seriously ill — harmed by the very love that was meant to care for him. When the vet finally takes the dog away and simply puts him on a sensible diet with regular exercise, Tricki quickly becomes healthy and energetic again. The contrast between the pampered, sick dog and the recovered, lively one clearly shows that over-pampering and overfeeding do real harm, and that true care means looking after an animal's health sensibly rather than spoiling it.
