She added that Vincent had a body mass index of 62.7 percent body fat when he weighed 36 pounds.
Um, there's a difference between BMI and BFP...
At his original BMI, he was at a severe risk for arthritis, diabetes, reduced mobility, increased physical injury that can lead to paralysis of the hind legs, cancer, respiratory disease, kidney disease, pancreatic and shortened life expectancy,
Just like humans, what a surprise...

Whenever I bring my labrador to the vets the vet always compliments how slim she is, as its a rare sight to see a labrador that isn't fat.

I don't get how you make your dog overweight to begin with. We had a retriever when I was a kid, and it was simple: He got two meals a day, consisting of X amount of dog food. Sometimes he could get some dog friendly leftovers mixed in which of course in turn meant somewhat smaller amount of dog food that meal.
It's not like a dog can be secret eaters behind their owner's back.

One of these days, I might adopt a fat dog and make him skinny through continuous exercise and healthy portion sizes.

52% of dogs are overweight or obese. Holy crap, I never thought it would be that high. Fat ruin everything and nearly killed this dog.

As a dachshund owner. Fuck the fat motherfucker that made their dog a walking ham.

Probably to help cope with fat depression. I have my dachshund because I am going through some health issues, not fat related (I am under 120 pounds). That being said, I will NEVER let my dog or any dogs I will own in the future get this obese.

Well now Fat Vincent can get a new nickname: Skinny Vinny
