Settlement in Fat Dog Case

Obie is the obese Dachshund that weighed 77 pounds.  Nora Vanatta became a foster caretaker for the dog when asked by Oregon Dachshund Rescue.  She put the dog on a diet, which got national attention.  But, Oregon Dachshund Rescue said the dog was being exploited and they wanted it back.  Both sides have now reached a settlement...which keeps the dog in Vanatta's custody.  They aren't releasing additional details.  The Oregonian reports that a recent Facebook post shows Obie has lost 28 pounds.
