[critter crazy]

poor doggy!! Geesh!! why in the world would you want to let your animal get this way??? poor baby!!

Poor dog. What is wrong with people?

[Pam]

Poor pup! I plead ignorance as to not knowing how to convert stones to pounds. Nevertheless I can see that poor boy was certainly obese. I am wondering about the size of his owners. Oftentimes a chubby dog is owned by a chubby human as they pass their poor eating habits along to their pets. I am glad this boy is trimming down. He will certainly live longer.

[katrina]

his owners are thin

[Ginger's Mom]

Poor boy. I hope they take good care of him. At first I thought maybe they were just too soft and couldn't say no to their dog when he asked for food, but I see they also failed to take care of an ear infection as well, so they are obviously negligent. I hope he doesn't gain all of that weight back.

Pam, one stone=14 pounds, so this boy, who should have been about 80 pounds was 154 pounds. About double the size of an fit Lab.

Pam, 11 stone is roughly 154 lbs. Under the RSPCA's care, he lost about 50 lbs.

I cannot believe they gave Rusty back to them!!

Poor boy. I hope the punishment is more than a slap on the wrist if Rusty's weight gets out of control again.

Thanks for the stone to lbs conversion, I also was confused. Poor dog will probably have health issues later on because of this weight.
