Nuggi was then taken in by the New Zealand SPCA. It broke rescuers' hearts to watch the obese dog struggling. It was the worst case of an overweight dog they had ever encountered, Todd Westwood, the CEO of the country's SPCA, says. It's come to light that she fed Nuggi between eight and 10 pieces of chicken every day, as well as dog biscuits. "Being a responsible dog owner involves providing your dog with sufficient exercise and a good diet, and clearly that wasn't the case here," Westwood says.
