      Yes, believe it or not. He used to weight 37 lbs (almost 17 kilos) when his current owners adopted him from the shelter and started to help him lose weight.

        Poor guy, the previous owners probably just kept food in his bowl at all times. Hopyfully his kidneys are in good shape, otherwise he might have swelling around the intestines even after the fat is lost, then they’d have to start feeding him chicken breast to lower his salt intake.
