Write a character sketch of Tricki …

Tricki was a dachshund dog who had been pampered to such an extent that overfeeding, luxuries, and facilities became the cause of his illness. He became so fat that he could not walk properly. The narrator, who was a vet, lived in Mrs. Pumphrey’s neighborhood; he saw Tricki’s condition deteriorate regularly. He suggested to Mrs. Pumphrey to follow strict regimen for Tricki, but Mrs. Pumphrey did not pay much attention to it.  

One day Tricki stopped eating even his favorite dishes. He just lay listlessly on the floor.  The narrator was called; he suggested Tricki needed hospitalization. Actually he had a special plan for him to make him well.  

At his hospital, he kept Tricki on strict diet. He gave him plenty of water to drink. In the company of other dogs, Tricki began moving and playing with them. Within a few days Tricki improved. The narrator did not give any food and wine to Tricki that Mrs. Pumphrey sent everyday for him.

After a fortnight Tricki became normal and healthy and Mrs. Pumphrey thought the narrator had done some surgery on Tricki.
