It might seem that the two pictures above show two very different dogs, but trust me, this is not the case. On the contrary, both pics show Obie, a formerly obese dachshund that has been dieting for over a year and which now looks absolutely amazing.

KXL tells us that, back in August 2012, Obie weighed an impressive 77 lbs (35 kilograms). With help from Nora Vanatta, who is a certified veterinary technician and who adopted him in October 2012, he has managed to slim down to 27 lbs (12.25 kilograms).

As reported, Obie was so successful at losing weight over this past year, that at one point, he even had to undergo a tummy tuck in order to get rid of all the excess skin that was still clinging to his body.

Needless to say, Obie's extreme weight loss has very much improved his quality of life. He can now run, play and no longer has to fear that people will poke fun at his lumps and bumps when he goes to the beach.
