Meet Simon’s Sister’s Dog? Does he look familiar? That’s because he’s been produced by the creator of the hugely successful animation Simon’s Cat, in support of the RSPCA’s campaign to tackle pet obesity.
Simon’s Sister’s Dog has got his eye on one thing, and one thing only – food! And he doesn’t stop until he’s devoured every tit bit and scrap of dropped food from the Christmas dinner table and has reached bursting point.
There is of course a serious message to this animation.

Fat pets can develop serious health problems – including diabetes, arthritis and even organ failure.
The RSPCA has created 'Pets Get Slim' - an online community to help people help their pets lose weight.
