The biggest loser in this story is a brave pup named Fat Vincent.
Fat Vincent (https://www.facebook.com/TheTransformatio**fFatVincent/photos) is a seven-year-old dachshund from Houston, Texas. Just eight months ago, the pup was surrendered to K-9 Angel Rescue (http://www.k-9angelsrescue.org/) after his owner passed away.*
Clocking in at 38 pounds, Fat Vincent was considered obese and had high cholesterol, back problems and difficulty walking.
