Stray Dog Was So Overweight She Couldn't Walk | The Dodo

[@jenellbarnes4231]

Cindy looked so miserable when she was found, and when she first started her weight loss journey. But her happiness at regaining her mobility so heartwarming. What a beautiful inspiration she turned out to be ❤❤❤

[@TheAstroflight]

My guess is she was owned by an individual who was either ill, disabled or elderly so did not get out much, and that owner, shall we say, loved the doggo too much. That owner either passed or went into care and the person or persons taking care of their estate and affairs just tossed the dog onto the street. Cindy is in recovery, very happy and very much loved, so that is all that matters now.

These videos make me cry like a baby. So I watch these during breakups instead of crying over my ex. That way I still get the tears out but my energy I towards something that actually worth it 🤣

[@goosefarm3602]

THANK YOU for rescuing precious Cindy

[@PsychoKupcake]

When you over feed a dog to that point, it's animal abuse. The dedication you all put in is wonderful. She looks so much happier and healthier! Great job to all, but especially Cindy ❤❤

[@basquat76]

Well she was a stray so it might just be from eating scrabs

[@PsychoKupcake]

@basquat76 I was thinking that but I also think maybe people would see her and feed her. Or, she could just be rummaging through some damn good garbage. Regardless, I'm elated to see the change.

[@boogaloo4640]

Not mentioned in the video but I'm guessing she had an underactive thyroid

[@PsychoKupcake]

@boogaloo4640 very well could be. BC being a stray and that heavy is odd.

I am so proud of those who saw how much trouble that poor pup was in and decided to fix it! We all know how hard it is to lose weight...so seeing her make such a stunning change lets me know that her people gave her all the support she needed...and she found another wonderful person to help her finish that journey! Kudos to Cindy on her new figure...and my heartfelt thanks to her dedicated humans...God bless...

[@Terri_MacKay]

It's awesome that so many people put in so much time helping Cindy lose weight. But their efforts would have been pointless if Cindy hadn't worked so hard herself. Given her condition when she was rescued, it was amazing to see her push herself to walk a little further every day. When she jumped up on the bed, and started running outside, I may have cheered a little. It's great that she was adopted by one of the people who helped her lose weight, because it means that she'll never get that unhealthy again.❤️❤️ I've seen a number of similar stories about morbidly obese pets, and many times they're owned by someone elderly who loves them by feeding them far too much, while also not being able to take them for walks or exercise them. Cindy could possibly have been dumped by the family if Cindy's owner after they passed away, if none of them wanted to deal with an extremely overweight dog that could barely walk.

[@NoctisTheBogWitch]

She has thyroid issues.

[@elloco1996]

Just amazing to see the determination in her face when she started training!

[@teressabacklin2840]

This has to be one of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen on dodo Thank you for saving her And to the lady who adopted her I hope you have a long beautiful life with her she seems so happy now 😊

[@dad4ever-c90]

So many pet parents overfeed their animals because it makes them happy at that moment. But the long-term effect is poor health. As Cindy lost the weight, you could see how much more she enjoyed EVERY moment. Now her life can be, not only longer, but also better!

[@Joshua-me1wi]

How did she get so heavy as a stray? Glad she was rescued and rehabilitated, though. Rescues make my day.👏

[@michellejames4493]

@Joshua-me1wi She would spend her days lying outside restaurants that all used to feed her...I think she may have some Thyroid issues too all contributing to her insane weight gain.....she looks amazing now👏👏 check out Happy Doggo if you haven't already, she comes from Koi Samui😊

[@Nammygirl68]

Original owner may have passed away & either the next of kin didn't want her or the owner had no family at all and just roamed the streets.

[@lizannz4711]

​@@Nammygirl68Your comment does not answer Joshua's question "How did she get so heavy?" He didn't ask how she became a stray.

[@Annie_Annie__]

@@lizannz4711 A lot of times elderly people over-feed their pets thinking that they’re being loving by giving them treats. Other times the elderly owner might have dementia and forget that they already fed their pets, so they end up feeding them several times every day. They also might supplement these multiple meals (that the owner thinks was just 1 or 2 meals) with their own food, which might be fried or otherwise unhealthy. Then the owner dies, there’s no one to take care of the pets, so they end up on the streets. (I regularly volunteer at a cat shelter and we get a few cats a year that are in exactly this situation. They’re overweight because their owner had dementia, then the owner died, so the family surrendered the cat to us so we could find a home for them. But not everyone has the option of a shelter and not every pet has people that care.)

If my boy Scott got his way he'd be that big. This is why being careful and not just tossing food constantly their way is so important. A dog is like a toddler. They don't fully understand what's best for them, it's a responsibility you as their human need to take on.

[@leonkane8240]

Cindy Crawford, that is hilarious. My old girl Gabby, a Heeler cross, she passed away more than 10 years ago now, she climbed up in weight, it was so gradual that I did not even know, till I looked @ some photos of how she was years before. I was mortified, she was no where near as bad as Cindy but non the less over weight. I felt that I had failed her. I felt guilty. I never fed her junk, I just fed her too much. The vet said given her breed she would likely find it hard to loose weight. I did some reading & chasing on the subject & opted to reduce her red meat intake supplementing it with fish. With in 3 months she was back to a healthy weight. She was a stray so I don't know what her true age was, but she was with me for 13 years , I guess she was maybe 4-5 years when she came into my life, I am told 16-18 is pretty good for her breed. She was such a sweet heart, she was pure love. I miss her every day, she was special, loved everyone even those that did not deserve it, she was a better person than I will ever be.
