He's down to about 110 so far and still going. No hydrotherapy as he's a water-phobe, but luckily the walking gets easier every week!

I was so happy for the "new" Raleigh! I have raised MANY dogs since graduating college, and although my tactics were pretty routine and standard among all, a few of my pups grew larger and faster and heavier than I wanted no matter how much they ran and played freely. When I was able to get some weight off of them as young adults, each certainly lived a happier life. As with humans, I think that some animals are predisposed to growing larger than reasonable. I was impressed with seeing Raleigh on the "underwater treadmill." How in the world do you teach your dog to walk that walk??!! And where can even I get one of those for ME??!! :-) I really enjoyed this story and was touched by the video. I was so happy for the “new” Raleigh!

What you say about exercise is so true, at the end, it's what's always needed. I will there where better guidelines for people to know when their dogs are fat though, i feel most people don't realize their dogs are fat until they are really fat. Others just don't think it's their fault even though they are the ones giving so much food. Great post, inspiring story. What you say about exercise is so true, at the end, it’s what’s always needed.
