Dog Daily News

This guy looks more like an engorged tick than a dog!

Do you know a portly pooch? A fat Fido? A corpulent canine?

Tell him not to hang his heavy head. Sure, it’s better for him if he sheds some pounds, but he may soon have his time in the spotlight (the ultra-wide spotlight). The E! show, Chelsea Lately, is asking anyone who knows a very fat dog to submit a picture of their larger than life friend to their show at the above link.

The prize? Not much: The rotund Rover’s photo may have a chance to be seen on Chelsea’s show one of these nights. We’re not talking a $1 million modeling contract. But at least full-figured dogs will be able to flaunt their paunch instead of trying to suck it in to seem more svelte.

We’re not sure why Chelsea is asking for photos of fat dogs. We can only hope it has nothing to do with all this talk lately about how eating dogs isn’t such a bad idea. Could Chelsea be looking for her Thanksgiving dinner? We shudder. We shudder… (And now we actually are happy and relieved for our friend, Fat Bob, who has dropped dozens of kilos from his frame recently. He will escape her beast feast.)

Our wide-screen TV is warmed up and tuned in…
