CBSE · Class 10 · English · Footprints Without Feet: A Triumph of SurgeryWhat does the title 'A Triumph of Surgery' mean ironically?

The title 'A Triumph of Surgery' is used ironically because there was actually no complicated medical surgery or operation performed on Tricki at all. The dog was cured simply by controlling his diet, giving him plenty of water, and making him exercise with other dogs. Mrs Pumphrey, however, misunderstood this natural recovery as a miraculous surgical triumph orchestrated by the clever veterinarian.
