Bopper (pictured above) had been dubbed too big to stay at an animal shelter after weighing in at eight stone

A border collie who made headlines after being too fat to stay in an animal shelter has shed one-and-a-half stone.

'Bopper the Whopper' is now on the hunt for a new home after slimming down to a healthy weight after weighing in at eight stone (50kg) last year.

The 12-year-old was dubbed too big to stay at the Gables Farm Dogs and Cats Home in Devon and had to be taken home by staff.

Since then the pooch has been on a strict diet and exercise regime and is now a slender six and a half stone (40kg).

Ruth Rickard, deputy manager for the animal shelter, said: 'He's such a loving dog and he deserves to be the centre of someone's life.

'I could not believe what I saw when he walked in. I could not believe how huge he was.'

'We thought Hattie was the fattest dog we'd ever get here, but Bopper makes her look tiny.'

Bopper was rescued by the RSPCA when his owners became too ill to look after him, was twice the size he should have been when he arrived.

Today Bopper (pictured above) has slimmed down to a healthy size and is on the hunt for a new home 

Ruth continued: 'He was an unwanted pet and came in to us on 9 November as his owner was seriously ill.

'He was just under 50kg so looked huge in a kennel and can not move around in one so I take him home at night.

'We did not want him going outside and being stuck so he is in the office during the day and I take him home afterwards where he has a whole room to waddle around in.'

Ruth said he had been well-loved by his owners but that he was given too much food and not enough exercise.

'We don't know what he was being fed as the owner is seriously ill and we weren't able to get much information.

'But our plan now is to get him to eat properly - he was not keen on eating when he first arrived as he was miserable about being uprooted.

'He is now in a routine feeling a lot happier and well loved.'

Bopper is about halfway through his weight loss journey and his new owners would need to keep up his special diet.

Ruth thinks it will take three months for the chunky canine to reach his target weight of 27kg (4st).

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.
