Dennis the dachshund was fed White Castle hamburgers and pizzas until he reached roughly the weight of four or five dachshunds. In fact, his owner didn't care too much about what Dennis ended up putting in his mouth and didn't seem to notice when Dennis reached a whopping weight of 56-pounds.

A relative of his original owner eventually adopted Dennis, whose tiny legs were barely able to hold up his body when she met him. A vet said that Dennis was so obese, he would not have survived another month under his old, gluttonous lifestyle.

His new owner, a 27-year-old nursing student, placed Dennis under a strict exercise regime and he started a new diet of dry dog food only.

After losing an impressive 44 pounds, the dachshund is now at a healthy weight of 12 pounds and lives a much livelier lifestyle of squirrel chasing and other normal dog activities.
