Obie, The Obese Dachshund

HOW could something like this happen??? What would someone have to feed their dog (and how often) to get him to this level of obesity? This is very sad.

(youtube) Obie is a 5 year old standard dachshund who is on a mission to lose about 40 pounds. His current weight is 77lbs. His owners were no longer capable of caring for him and relinquished him. He is in a new home and on a weight loss program. His blood work is normal and he is otherwise healthy. Please follow his journey on FB; Biggest Loser, Doxie Edition.

First I burst out laughing.

Then I laughed some more.

All in all though its probably on the verge of animal cruelty to raise it up like that. But I do not know the state the person got the dog or whatnot.

I can see why this would be funny so I won't judge anyone for their reaction, but I can't laugh at that.
Normal bloodwork notwithstanding, they'll be incredibly lucky if Obie doesn't die from heart failure before they can get his weight down.
