The dog had become hugely fat and listless. Dr Herriot instructed Mrs Pumphrey to keep Tricki was on a very strict diet. He also asked her to give him a lot of exercises. Dr Herriot also suggested to cut down 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 did not give any medical treatment to the dog. The dog was not given food any but lots of water. His method worked. Tricki’s 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 grateful mistress thanked Dr Herriot and called his feat “a triumph of surgery!” Dr James was clever enough to enjoy the best of both the worlds. He was tempted to keep Tricki on as a permanent guest. It was a happy period for Dr Herriot and his friends. He enjoyed eggs for breakfast, and wine and brandy for lunch.
