Detailed explanation-1: -Ans: Tricki’s mistress was extremely rich and well off. She would dress Tricki in tweed coats and feed him malt, cod-liver oil, and a bowl of Horlicks. Often, she would feed him with ice creams and chocolates.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Tricki saw his mistress, he took a tremendous leap off from the doctor’s arms and hopped into Mrs Pumphrey’s lap and started licking her face.
Detailed explanation-3: -The narrator is not as rich as Tricki’s mistress. We see this as the narrator mentions that Tricki had a whole wardrobe of tweed coats to himself, for the cold and a raincoat for rainy days. When Mr. Harriet leaves for the hospital, he is unable to fit most of Tricki’s belongings in his car and starts to drive away.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tricki had gained a significant amount of weight and looked like a bloated sausage with limbs on both ends. The narrator noticed that his (Tricki’s) eyes were reddish and wet, and his tongue was lolling out of his jaws, indicating that the dog was not feeling well.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mrs Pumphrey, the mistress of Tricki was an overindulgent lady. She pampered and even spoilt her pet dog. Dr Herriot instructed her to keep Tricki on a very strict diet and give him a lot of exercises. She ignored him.
