LOL--Overweight China dogs join fitness programmes BEIJING (Reuters) - It gives a whole new meaning to capitalist running dogs. An increasing number of pet pooches in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen are in training to reduce weight, the China Daily said on Friday. Dog ownership, banned under the rule of the late Mao Zedong as a bourgeois pastime, was legalised only a few years ago as higher living standards allowed many people to afford pets. And Shenzhen, among the first of China's special economic zones, has grown from a small village bordering Hong Kong to a metropolis boasting one of China's two stock exchanges. "The dogs are fed diet food, encouraged to exercise more and washed with fat-reducing shampoo," the China Daily said, quoting the southern Guangzhou Daily. "Rich food and a lack of exercise in the city are the main reasons for the dogs being overweight, which could bring on diseases similar to ones faced by humans." reuters.com
