Meet Bear the Big Doberman. Bear was a stray dog picked up by San Antonio’s Animal Control Services in late July. At the time he was rescued, Bear weighed an astounding 147 pounds! That’s about 70 pounds overweight!

When he arrived, he was suffering from a variety of health problems related to his weight including two ear infections, a hyper-thyroid, joint pain, high cholesterol, and depression. A vet quickly got Bear on a diet and exercise plan that included regular walks and four small meals of premium dog food each day.[/highlight] [highlight align=”left, right, center” style=”default, different”]After only two months on his weight loss regiment, Bear is already down to 112 pounds and is happier and more active than ever.[/highlight]
