A Dog Weighed So Much They Were Going To Put Her Down, But Someone Had A Much Better Idea

Being a pet owner takes a lot of responsibility. Just like people, dogs need a good diet and plenty of exercises. Obesity in pets is just as serious as obesity in humans. Take a look at this dog. She is clearly overweight – you can’t even tell what breed of dog she is.

Look at her – shes’s severely overweight!

This is Pearl, and she is a Jack Russell terrier. Pearl weighs 80 pounds (the average weight of a Jack Russell Terrier is 11 to 18 pounds).

Her owners allowed her to get this overweight, and then they abandoned her in a parking lot. Rescuers had to move her on a sheet (carried by several people).
