उत्तर
It can surely be stated that Dr. Herriot from ‘The triumph of surgery’ knew his patients (animals) as well as their owners really well and this statement can be supported by looking at the following example -
When he saw Tricki in the market, he was able to correctly make out that she needed help which shows that the Doctor could understand when the animals were in pain just by looking at them and; Despite knowing that the dog was in an obese condition due to the fault of her owner, Mrs. Pumphrey, he never spoke any harsh words or was rude to her.
