A dog so obese he is unable to walk is being placed on an extreme low-fat diet by vets.
Patch weighed 28kg when he was brought in to the Dogs Trust's Glasgow centre - twice his normal weight and roughly equivalent to an eight-year-old child.
Because his legs cannot support his body weight, he has to be placed in a special harness and carried around. Now the centre's staff are trying to get the six-year-old Beagle Cross into shape.
