I saw an amazingly fat dog on LOLDOGS. I didn't know a dog could get this
fat... it's a shame. One commenter said it could be renal failure, which I
know nothing about. He sure looks like just a fat dog, though.

Here are some books about fat dogs and cats:

Renal failure is more likely caused by obesity, although a uremic dog might
retain excess water.

Here is a more scholarly account of chronic renal failure, which indicates
that dogs are likely to be underweight, anemic, or even anorexic. Treatment
involves unlimited access to water, lowered protein, and higher fat content
in food.

Here's Janet's success story with a fat Golden she rescued:

I commend her for her loving care and great results.

BTW, the link is in a thread that is in the public Google archives, if want
to read more about this heartwarming story and all the kind things that
were said:

Yeah, that's the one. I didn't think about them adding content every day,
so the link changed. Thanks.

That's not a dog, that's a freakin' walrus.

That owner ought to be brought up on charges.
