PHOENIX -- A dog who suffers a strange case of morbid obesity is slowly losing weight.
Sessa, a 5-year-old Sheltie, was discovered by Phoenix Police during a call to a home. She was so fat, she couldn't move. Officials say she was stuck to the floor in her own filth.
"When she came into us, she was about 75 pounds," said Alexis Boyle, spokesperson for the Arizona Humane Society. "That's about two and a half, almost three times what her normal weight should be.
The dog's owners admitted to feeding her beer and donuts. It's not a crime in Arizona to overfeed an animal, but Boyle says it's still wrong.
"It's one thing if you like to eat beer and donuts and make yourself that way, but it's really not fair to her, because that wasn't her choice," Boyle said.
Sessa can barely walk, so the Humane Society sought out a different way for her to exercise. She's doing aquatic therapy with Jeffrey Flocker, a rehab specialist at Canine Physical Rehabilitation of the Southwest.
