I shadowed a vet who showed me a picture from their surgery book. This dog was so overweight, apparently he had gotten trapped under a porch for 3 days, and after he was finally rescued they weren't able to save him.
It's weird, people have a very distorted idea of a dog's ideal weight. People think that if the dog has a tuck, it's underweight! I hear this all the time, it's incredible!
My fat cat is losing weight, slowly but surely!
