70-pound Dachshund - Overweight dog

What you see in the picture is a Dachshund named Obie. Average weight of Dachshund should be 32 pounds. Obie is more than twice the normal weight. His previous owners, an old couple gave him up because they could no longer take care of him.





Just look at the photos. Am I seeing a dog or a pig?

Source news.

Not so long ago, we also have a thread about a 39-pound cat died at age 2.

I think it is really sad that people can't differentiate harm from love. Sure some pets are masters of begging for food. As the owners, they should know better, and they should have at least noticed the problem with the dog was overweight, but they kept feeding him to the current state.

Obie is currently in a program to lose his weight. I wish he can successfully reduce the extra pounds on him.
