Oooh boy, I would NOT want to hear their vet visits! I got a lecture once, and my cat, while overweight at the time, was nothing like this!

Have you considered asking their vet to tell them they are violating the law, this is cruelty, and giving them one chance to get her losing weight? Then even if she loses just a little it is a start!

poor thing.

Ahhhh!!! That's horrendous...poor, poor, poor dog!

Good gravy that is one hefty mamma. Poor thing. I agree the vet should be called in. Perhaps the vet can gently suggest some exercise which would help not just that sweet dog but the humans as well.

Honestly, don't they realize that this dog is in misery? What a sad picture. I feel so bad for her. They have to do something before she dies of a heart attack!!

I just wanted to add that I can't imagine you having to go through this painting job without pain and suffering. Maybe you could paint her somewhat thinner and they would take notice. I don't envy you

I would love to see a WIP.

Holy Cow! That dog's belly is about as big as a cow!

I hope the poor thing can start losing weight before it has a really bad health issue.

Unless the poor dog has a medical condition, that is downright cruel! Are they also overweight people?
This is quite a creative challenge. Of course we'd like to see your work in progress

wow. I have seen a lot of fat dogs at my work, I thought the worst was a 65 lb Beagle, but I think this takes the cake. that is really really sad, it literally breaks my heart to see that. what a tough situation to be in, I really applaud you for making an effort to educate them, but I know, especially with family(!!!) its hard to get them to listen most times..... ugh. man oh man...
