Just two years ago, Pearl the Jack Russel-cross was scheduled to be euthanised thanks to her weight.

She weight close to six stone, making her morbidly obese, and had to be wheeled everywhere on a special cart.

Vets feared her heart could stop at any moment. She had so many rolls of fat she couldnt walk or turn her neck. Poor Pearl.

Abandoned on the streets, it was found that there was no medical condition that had made Pearl such a large size just neglect and severe overfeeding from her previous owners.

She was scared, depressed, and had pain in her joints, having been fed nearly to death.

Vets were astounded that she was still alive.

Thankfully, she was discovered by Dog Networking Agents Inc, who decided to step in and save Pearl from her growing weight.

Pet rescuer Hayley Zielinski quickly put Pearl on a special diet and exercise plan, setting her up on an underwater treadmill so she could work out without putting too much pressure on her body.

Two years on, shes lost two stone and eight pounds and looks like an entirely different dog.

But shes still got more weight to lose.

This dog was absolutely morbidly obese, she couldnt walk at all or move her head because her neck was enormous, she even had to be wheeled into the vets, said Hayley.

No one had seen such a morbidly obese dog that was still alive and vets told us that her heart could stop at any moment.

At times, we didnt think she was going to make it, we feared she was going to have a heart attack, but she didnt and she fought on, Im really proud of her.

Shes came so far in her weight loss and emotional wellbeing. She went from being trapped in her own body and scared of the outside world to confident, plus she can even jog every now and again.

Dogs like Pearl would normally be euthanized in the shape she was in but we wanted to give her a chance and Im glad we did, shes amazing.

Pearl is now a local celebrity for her amazing weight loss, popping along to Weight Watchers meetings and strolling around the town showing off her transformation.

Shes a real character, shes hilarious and very lazy, said Hayley.

I will take her for a walk and after a while she will just drop on the floor and refuses to move.

Same, Pearl. Same.
