Britain's fattest pooch which swelled to 110lbs on a diet of burgers has shed half her body weight after being put on a strict diet and exercise regime.
The obese canine, nicknamed 'Hattie the Fattie', resembled a pot-bellied pig according staff at the rescue centre staff that took her in.
She hit the scales at more than 104lbs and a fundraising campaign was launched to get the dog a tummy tuck.

Eight-year-old Hattie arrived at Gables Farm Dogs and Cats home in Plymouth, Devon, in February this year and was immediately put on a strict weight controlled diet.
But the scale of her progress has stunned staff at the animal rescue centre and the portly pooch does not now require the operation
Hattie's weight is currently down to 50lbs and she faces a much brighter future.
She is still looking for a home and suffers from some other health issues, but money raised through the crowfunding appeal will go towards any new owner's future vet bills.
Staff launched a campaign to get the dog an operation however the scale of her progress has means surgery is no longer required
Hattie, a collie, has diabetes and is awaiting surgery to remove her cateracts - which staff believe will improve her wellbeing even further.
Ruth Rickard, 51, who has worked at the centre for 10 years, said: 'She'll be able to see a ball then and be able to chase one because most collies are ball mad and she just can't see one now, which is a bit of a shame really.'
Ruth Rickard, 51, who has worked at the centre for 10 years, said: 'I just knew we had to try and help her. I take her home with me at night so I can administer her insulin injections, which she tolerates very well'
Hattie's weight ballooned after living a sedentary lifestyle on a diet of fast food including daily burgers.
She was initially rescued by the RSPCA before being handed over to the rescue centre.
Ruth added: 'When I first saw Hattie I couldn't believe it as she looked more like a pot bellied pig than a dog.
The collie has diabetes and is awaiting surgery to remove her cateracts but staff believe her weight loss will help improve her wellbeing
'I just knew we had to try and help her. I take her home with me at night so I can administer her insulin injections, which she tolerates very well.
'As the weight has started to come off we have found that she is very spirited and extremely loving, despite the fact we put her on a diet.
'Since she started losing weight, she's changed - it was like she had no real enjoyment of life before and was just existing.
'She now spends her days in our reception, keeping an eye on the staff and customers, and as we watch her gain confidence and lose weight it makes me proud.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
