Quick Summary

Peggy-Sue, an obese bulldog weighing 72 pounds upon arrival at RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre in Somerset, England, has significantly improved her health after losing about 18 pounds. Initially unable to walk without collapsing and suffering from various ailments due to her size, Peggy-Sue was cared for by a foster family who helped her with diet and exercise. She is now living with Emmie and Andy, who adopted her as they were coping with the loss of their own dog.
