A severely obese dog, Vincent has lost over 20 pounds, thanks to K-9 Angels Rescue group, who saved him from the county shelter.

Humans aren’t the only ones who can have successful weight loss stories.

Eight months ago, a 7-year-old obese dachshund appropriately named “Fat Vincent” tipped the scales at 38 pounds. He was very unhealthy and depressed. He had just been surrendered over to a county animal shelter after his owner had died.

He could barely walk, had high cholesterol and his back dipped from the extra weight, putting him at risk of nerve damage.

“He was friendly, but I could barely discern between his laying down and standing up positions; with his short little legs, there was very little clearance between the floor and his chest and abdomen,” his veterinarian Sharon Anderson told CNN.

After an incredible weight loss journey, Vincent now weighs just 17 pounds. And, when he loses just a pound and a half more, he’ll be ready for his forever home!
