A pasta-obsessed dog who could only walk a few steps without stopping is now 'unrecognisable' after losing half her body weight.
Emmabele Hodges adopted Rosie after the death of a family member but when taken to the vet in April 2020 was told she was the biggest dog they'd ever had in the practice as she tipped the scales at 10 stone.
The 25-year-old said that after that 'surreal' visit she knew that in order for her 10-year-old dog to have a happy and healthy life she needed to drop the pounds.
Through a combination of healthy diet and exercise Rosie has dropped a whopping four and a half stone - and can now do 'just about anything she wants'.
The nursing assistant claims that since her weight loss Rosie, who needed a ramp to get in and out of a car, is a 'completely different dog'.
