That dog was so much more than overweight.
I'm sure his weight did save him when thinking about how cold it must have been to get frozen to the sidewalk. The bulk allowed the dog to keep his internal organs warm, otherwise the dog would have be completely frozen.
But as to the dog's weight. That is just unbelievable. I saw the same Fat Pets on Animal Planet and it is shocking to see how overweight some owners allow their pets. My girls love to run and go for walks, just as my children have high metabolisms and active lifestyles.
Horrible. Have to agree with what a fitting punishment for her would be. But I doubt she'd be able to survive being frozen to the sidewalk for 12 hours. She "checked" on the poor guy. Please. Her first clue should have been the dog didn't try to come inside.
Enough from me. It just makes me so mad
