Dennis, a 6-year-old dachshund, lost a whopping 44 pounds, going from 56 pounds to 12 pounds after his owner put him on a diet of dry dog food and regular walks.

Brooke Burton, Dennis' owner, recalls how emotional she became when she first saw him, and how he couldn't take more than a few steps without being out of breath.

Dennis' story is a good lesson for pet owners who might feed their animals too much, as Dr. Kathleen Ham, the veterinary surgeon who performed his skin removal surgeries, says "food is not love."

Dennis lost so much weight that he started tripping over the folds of excess skin that were left over and getting infections, requiring three surgeries to get rid of it.

Fat Vincent, a 7-year-old dachshund, weighed 38 pounds before starting his weight loss journey, and had high cholesterol, back problems, and difficulty walking.

With the help of his foster mom, veterinarian Melissa Anderson, Fat Vincent started a diet and workout regimen, including daily walks and swimming, which helped him shed weight and improve his mood.

Vincent has gone from 38 pounds to 17 pounds, and is just a pound-and-a-half away from his goal weight, with a sweet and happy personality to match.

Dennis and Vincent's stories show that with the right care and attention, even the fattest wiener dogs can achieve a healthy weight and a happy life.

A fresh viewpoint: Fat Corgi Dog

This little pup weighed an astonishing 69 pounds.

The dog's owner reported that he had been eating a diet of high-calorie dog food and treats, which contributed to his massive size.

He was so big that he had to be fed through a tube because he couldn't eat normally.

This is not a healthy weight for a Wiener Dog, which is a breed that typically weighs between 7-15 pounds.

The dog's excessive weight put him at risk for various health problems, including diabetes and heart disease.

Despite the risks, the dog's owner refused to put him on a diet, and the dog eventually passed away due to complications related to his weight.

The Guinness World Records recognized him as the heaviest dog in the world, but that's not something to be proud of.

The dog's story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overfeeding and obesity in pets.
