A Chihuahua named Shorty was overweight and unable to walk or play due to his condition. Carlie Cahill adopted him two years ago and discovered that Shorty had an undiagnosed thyroid condition. Carlie put him on a high protein diet with lots of green beans, and Shorty quickly lost weight. He went from weighing 18lbs to 7lbs. Now, Shorty is happy and energetic, able to chase squirrels and play with Carlie's other dog. Carlie hopes that Shorty's transformation will inspire other dog owners to help their pets lose weight and live a healthier life.
