70-pound Dachshund - Overweight dog

Ram, as far as I am concerned this is a form of animal abuse. This dog isn't a couple of pounds overweight. He's about 55 lbs overweight.

I think that sometimes people think they are being mean when they control what they feed their dog. They see those sad eyes and think the dog is mad at them. But, really, what is more mean--denying your dog extra treats and people food or over feeding it? This poor dog probably can't even walk around without help.

I always wonder if a person who feeds a dog like this would do the same to a child. No, you wouldn't because it would harm the child. So, you shouldn't do it with your pets either.
