Why was Dr Herriot tempted to keep Tricki on as a permanent guest?

Answer

Tricki was a pampered dog and his mistress, Mrs Pumphrey was an overindulgent lady. For a happy period, Dr Herriot and his partner had two eggs each for breakfast. Then there was a liberal inflow of wine and brandy. They were days of deep content for him. He was naturally tempted to keep Tricki on as a permanent guest.
