A service dog was recently relieved of his long-time duties in a Mississauga home when he was found to be far too fat for his own good — a decision a provincial adjudicator has now determined to be quite fair given the circumstances.

As a result, the dog reportedly ballooned from 83 pounds to a whopping 129 pounds during his first year in the house. "NSD had real concerns about Sammy's overall health, arthritis, ongoing ear infections and being overweight for several years," the legal decision from April 19 reads, adding that staff from the agency noted Sammy was"extremely large, panting while sitting down, took a while to stand up and seemed unhealthy and unwell" when they last visited the family.
