He's easily obese. I don't know how much he actually ways, but I'm sure it's around 300-350 lbs, he's 6'3 btw. Three years ago he declared that he would go on a diet. He was about 50-100 lbs lighter then. I would give his actual weight but no one in my family has any idea to what it is, all we know is that he's too heavy for our scale and exceeds the treadmill's weight limit. His stomach is just getting bigger and bigger... it's digusting. He had a heart attack about half a year ago actually, but that dose of reality didn't stop him from eating like a gluttonous pig. Honestly I feel bad for calling him a pig, because pigs are actually great creatures when he's a sad, fat, poor excuse of a human.
Recently my family got a new puppy, he's currently 6 months old and adorable. He's at a perfectly healthy weight, the vet confirmed it and everything. My ham dad says that's he's a "string bean" and that he needs to gain more weight, which is bs. I've been trying to educate my dad on the healthy weight for a dog of his size but he won't listen. He actually fed him a chicken bone once, but I happened to be nearby at the time to take it away before anything bad happened. My dad constantly sneaks him sausages, chicken, steak, hot dogs... Everything that a puppy shouldn't be eating. I'm just worried that the poor little pup will get health problems because of my dad feeding him shit... my dad won't listen to me or my family no matter how much we ask him to stop. I don't know what to do :/

My old dog basically lived a half-life from my fat parents overfeeding him garbage from the table.
His diet was basically chips, bacon rind, whipped cream, bread, crackers, the grisly bits of meat, lamb bones...
And his health problems were countless: IBS, hernias, cushings, and ultimately cancer. Cost us thousands in vet bills and by the end he just wasn't a dog anymore. He was a dog shaped body stuffed with drugs to keep him alive.

A well thought out post full of facts, reason, and logic.
Sadly, none of which works on fats.
