Ans: Tricki, Mrs. Pumphrey's dog, was excessively fat. He had blood-red and rheumy eyes. His tongue lolled from his jaws. He had no energy. He was fed generously without making him
exercise. The main cause for his ailment was his greed owing to that he accepted every type of food at any time and in any quantity.
