And yet never mentioned/posted/linked as the Ellen show seemed to be the focus and that was same date of the last post. Hadn't read much of a version of the owner's side of the situation, only the reaction. Take from the article what you will.

So how fat was this dog, if my overweight 10 year old diabetic mutt has no problem with that route?
