  1. Call jenny craig,
    this centuries poster new poster child in weight loss. why not?
    Obesity also a problem in domestic animals.

  2. Comment peut on abandonner une adorable boule de poils aussi doux, ses anciens maîtres ne devraient plus posséder d’animaux. Quelle tristesse. Partage. Dommage que je suis trop loin, mon coeur saigne pour lui. J’espère qu’il trouvera une bonne famille. ????

  3. Not overweight. Some Mastiffs very big like this dog. His body still muscled. He looks full blood Mastiff. My Mastiff is 275 pounds and not fat. He is beautiful. I hope he goes to a person that raises Mastiffs. It would be unhealthy and cruel for this dog to be put on diet.

  4. Otto needs to be out and getting exercise being in this cage will not help anything. Start him on a daily walk building it up over the months and also a diet. Plse help shame.

  5. I have an English mastiff, she’s 200 lbs, with no problems. I would love to have him, but I live in Indiana , just too far away.

  6. He doesn’t look overweight. English Mastiffs are often well over 200lbs. They are known to weigh up to 280lbs, without being obese. Please make sure he is homed with someone who understands mastiffs and won’t starve him trying to get him down to stupid weights.

  7. I wish my situation was different. I have three dogs now and my baby boy mastiff has a serious heart condition. All I can say is that these dogs are the greatest loves of all !!!!! Someone please save Otto he will bring u nothing but happiness!!!!!
