Though it is not clearly stated but there are instances in the story which suggest that the narrator is not as rich as Tricki’s mistress, Mrs Pumphrey. While the narrator provides Tricki with a warm loose box as a bed, Tricki had a day bed, a night bed, cushions, toys, rubber rings, a breakfast bowl, a lunch bowl, a supper bowl, a whole wardrobe of tweed coats and perhaps many more thingsat Mrs Pumphrey’s house. When he arrives to take the dog with him, Mrs Pumphrey has her entire staff at her disposal to transfer all of Tricki’s belongings to the doctor’s car.
On hearing from the doctor about Tricki’s gradual recovery, Mrs Pumphrey sends two dozen eggs at a time, along with bottles of wine and brandy in order to help in Tricki’s speedy recovery. Finally, when she calls upon the narrator to take her recovered dog back home, she comes in a chauffeur-driven “thirty feet of gleaming black metal”. All these instances point to the fact that Mrs Pumphrey lived a luxurious life.
The doctor gave Tricki no food and no medicine, but plenty of water for two days. Slowly, the dog started showing interest in his surroundings and began mixing with the other dogs at the surgery. One day the doctor saw Tricki licking the empty shining bowls of the other dogs. Next day, doctor kept aRead more

Mrs Pumphrey had started bringing around eggs to build Tricki’s strength along with bottles of wine and brandy. The narrator and his partners started enjoying the eggs, wine and brandy meant for Tricki. According to the narrator, they were days of deep content for the for them, starting with the extra egg in the morning, then the midday wine, and finally finishing the day with brandy. This was the reason why the narrator was tempted to keep Tricki on as a permanent guest.
Mrs Pumphrey thought that the dog’s recovery was “a triumph of surgery” because in two weeks, Tricki had recovered completely and had been transformed into a hard-muscled animal from a weak dog who was lazy all the time with his tongue rolling out of his mouth.

Tricki was brought into the surgery for treatment. But it got cured in two days without any medication. The proper diet and regular exercise helped a lot in its speedy recovery. Tricki regained its best health and was no longer listless.
