Scroll about a third of the way down. Before I saw this picture in the context of a reputable website, I thought it was faked.

(Fellow dog-lovers, rest assured she is fine now, as the bottom of the page shows).

Now the thing that shocks me, apart from the cruelty factor, is that I never thought an animal would eat itself to death, which this dog evidently would have done without intervention. We keep corgis/corgwyn, so I am well aware of how greedy some of them are. One of ours does this thing where she sits down and gives you a hugely reproachful look, gurgling in her throat like she wants to digest something, trots to the kitchen and comes back again. But even she, who is the single greediest dog I have ever known, has a cut-off point. We found this out when she was breastfeeding - for the first time in her life she wasn't fat and we gave her as much food as she wanted, and it got to the point where she was leaving some in the dish. It seems really counter-evolutionary that an animal would just keep eating and eating until it, well, died. They don't have the sociological messed-up-ness that humans have.

Could there be something physically wrong with this dog?
