Question

Answer

Tricki being excessively fed and overweight, would not move much. He only sat down or lied flat like a lazy dog. For this same reason, the household dogs were not interested in Tricki initially. The dogs checked on Tricki but, Tricki being so dull and boring, the dogs were not interested in him.

Answer

The household dogs were not interested in Tricki because he was dull and boring. Tricki was a small dog, pampered by his mistress. He ate so much that he became lazy and ill. His mistress called the vet who knew that the cause was it eating really much.

Answer

Answer:

Introduction:
The given question is based on the story 'A Triumph of Surgery' written by James Herriot. The story revolves around a dog named Tricki who was brought to the clinic by his owner Mrs. Pumphrey. The question asks about the reason why the dogs at the clinic took no interest in Tricki.

Reason why dogs took no interest in Tricki:
The correct answer to the question is option 'A' which states that the dogs at the clinic took no interest in Tricki because he was dull and boring. This answer can be explained by the following points:

- Tricki was an overfed Pekingese dog who was overweight and lazy due to his luxurious lifestyle. He did not have any interest in physical activities like running or playing which made him dull and boring.
- The other dogs at the clinic were mostly working dogs who were active and energetic. They were trained to perform tasks like herding, guarding, and hunting which required physical strength and agility. Therefore, they found Tricki uninteresting and unimpressive.
- Moreover, Tricki's appearance was also unappealing to the other dogs. He had a long, silky, and well-groomed coat which made him look like a toy rather than a dog. This made him even less attractive to the working dogs who were used to seeing dogs with short and rough coats.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the dogs at the clinic took no interest in Tricki because he was dull and boring. His lazy and inactive lifestyle and unimpressive appearance made him unappealing to the other dogs who were used to working and being active.
