I wonder if there is a contributing medical problem as well. But...How does
a dog's owner not recognize just how fat their dog is getting? And how does
the dog's vet just stand by and watch as the dog gets fatter than an
engorged tick?

I don't know if you saw the programs on AP's "Fat Dogs Week"
but they had one woman with a really disgusting Rottweiler
that was so huge he was having breathing difficulties and
joint problems and the whole thing, and the owner said that
she knew he was a really fat dog but that's how she wanted
him.
