22-stone dog trades meat for herbs

ONE of Britain’s fattest dogs has been put on a radical new health food diet in a bid to shift some of his bulk.

Zollie, a pedigree mastiff from Aberdeen, is combining a new dried pet food with herbal and homeopathic remedies after he tipped the scales at 22 stone.

The hefty hound is one of the first dogs to take part in the holistic diet which features a recipe developed by Ayrshire entrepreneur George Burns.
