Veterinarian Laurie Millward adopted Mitch, a 147 pound black lab, to help save him from obesity.
When she started HIS diet & exercise plan, she started her own, too.
They started slowly, being more active together, and swapping food treats for extra love & attention.
Mitch is down more than 60 pounds and happier.
