10 stone dog too fat to play fetch looses half its body weight

A 10 stone dog which refused to go on walks and was too fat to play fetch has a new lease of life - after shedding almost HALF its bodyweight.

Shiloh the Labrador ballooned to 146lbs - twice the average weight for his breed - after being fed large portions all his life.

But in October last year the pudgy pup was taken in by photographer Heidi Fiore, 42, after she spotted an appeal on Facebook.
