Question

Answer the following question in about 40-50 words:

In ‘A Triumph of Surgery’, how does Tricki’s condition reflect the consequences of Pampering pets excessively? What does this suggest about human attachment?

Answer 1

Tricki’s obesity, listlessness and greedy overfeeding caused by Mrs Pumphrey’s pampering show how excessive indulgence harms animals; only firm diet, exercise and separation restored him. The story implies human attachment can be sentimental, possessive and harmful when care replaces responsibility, leading to neglectful health outcomes.
