After weight loss and skin removal


No doggie bag for him! Obese dachshund sheds 43 POUNDS after a year of dieting
Dennis ballooned to 56 pounds after staying with his owner's relative, who fed him 'human food' and treats
The over-fed canine had to undergo surgery to remove his excess skin after losing the weight
______

The devoted pet owner credits an intensive exercise program and incredibly strict diet plan as being the main reasons behind her dog's dramatic weight loss - and she hopes that other people will be able to find inspiration in what she has done for her canine, and repeat the same success with their own animals.
'We should not be feeding dogs people food,' she explained.
'And [we shouldn't] be over-feeding them and giving them excessive amounts of treats.
'Just like humans, they need diet and exercise in order to live a healthy life.'
