VETERINARIAN: DOGS NEED TO START CHASING CARS AGAIN

Before and After:  Veterinarian Latworthy’s own dog Fidget went from being fat and lazy to thin and fit after chasing after the Git-The-Kitty cat head hitch ball

 

A recent article in Costco Connection magazine claims that casseroles have once again become a family favorite. But what really caught our eye elsewhere in the issue was the statistic that nearly 60-percent of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese.

To combat the epidemic, says unlicensed veterinarian Tungsten B. Latworthy, pet owners should be encouraging their dogs to get out and chase vehicles.

“For years, we punished our dogs for chasing cars,” said Latworthy. “In hindsight, that was wrong, and as a result, we have millions of fat dogs in this country. We need to get them back out there.”

But getting an overweight dog to exercise isn’t easy. “They’re inherently lazy,” said Dr. Latworthy. ‘You throw a ball and they just lie there and look at you. That’s why I developed the Git-The-Kitty cat head trailer hitch ball.”

Latworthy’s invention is a molded foam device that resembles an indignant cat and easily replaces a standard two-inch hitch ball. “Bolt the Git-The-Kitty onto your bumper or hitch and I guarantee your dog will chase you all day long,” he said confidently.

When asked if he’s earning a lot of money from his invention, Latworthy shakes his head.
“It’s not about money.  I love dogs and I want them to be healthy,” said Latworthy quietly as he hand-fed his dog Fidget a glob of Frito Casserole.
