A dog who was almost euthanised after ballooning to an enormous 30.8kg has been saved by an animal charity which helped her lose weight.
Honey the beagle was put on a strict diet and rehab program that helped her lose two-thirds of her body weight meaning she could soon be put up for adoption.
She was dropped off at the SPCA of Niagara County in New York State and in terrible shape: not only could she hardly move but her belly scraped the floor as she dragged herself along by her front paws.

She was also urinating and defecating on herself.
