What kind of a person do you think the narrator, a veterinary surgeon is? Would you say he is tactful as well as full of common sense?


Mr. Herriot, the narrator and a veterinary surgeon, is a man of good and noble character and one of those very few who help others in need. He advises Mrs Pumphrey to feed Tricki a balanced diet. When he sees that Mrs Pumphrey would not be able to get out of her affection for Tricki he takes the charge in his hand and goes to her house and takes Tricki to his hospital. He takes good and adequate care of Tricki. It can be said that he is tactful and has common sense for the way he treated Tricki. It was his tact to admit Tricki in the hospital and it was his common sense that he understood that Tricki was sick only because of overfeeding and that he needed less of pampering.
