Dog Obese After Diet Of Beer, Donuts...

[Zim Hosein]

MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. -- An extremely overweight dog is being rehabilitated after being fed a diet of beer and doughnuts.

When the Arizona Humane Society took in "Sessa," she weighed almost three times as much as she should have and couldn't even stand.

"This is quite unique to actually have a dog that cannot get up because she's so overweight," said Alexis Boyle of the Humane Society.

The scale-busting diet was not illegal in Arizona, reported NBC Phoenix station KPNX-TV.

But now she's getting slimmer as a swimmer.

Melissa Amato is fostering the dog, who can barely support her own weight. So she works out in the water at an animal rehabilitation center.

After just five sessions, she has dropped 7 pounds and can spend almost 20 minutes burning calories in the pool.

The aquatic therapy is just the beginning of Sessa's personal training. She'll move on to other workouts when she's ready.

It may take a year before she sheds all of the pounds.

Any chance they have some type of medical procedure similar to liposuction? If she can barely stand up, I'd say they should suck out some of that fat just so she is capable of exercising on her own.
