Obese Binkie goes from blob to Bond babe

IT always takes something drastic – be it that no-filter realistic look in the mirror or a near-death experience – for one to dust off the trainers and hit the treadmill – and for Binkie, the pug, it was no different.

After suffering a seizure during which she stopped breathing, Binkie Bond was placed on the Hill’s Pet Slimmer programme and lost nearly a third of her weight, as per vet’s orders.

Binkie is now sporting a much trimmer figure, having gone down from a “grossly obese” 16kg to a far healthier 11.5kg through the programme.
