Pill-popping pooches

Sometimes, I wish it would be nice to be a dog. Like when the FDA approves a diet drug that reduces appetite and fat absorption. Yes, there's now a doggie diet aid. According to a Cox News Service story, Pfizer's Slentrol should be on the market this spring, and cost $1 to $1.50 a day. This could be dangerous for dog owners whose only form of exercise is walking the dog - they'll need a diet drug. No word on whether or not there's a diet drug in the works for fat cats. Just for fun, check out these pictures of a cat that might need more than a magic pill.
