00:00I saw her in the middle of the street and she could barely move.

00:04Hello, hello. Oh you're not very healthy are you? You're so big and friendly.

00:10She couldn't stand up or walk. It was a two-man job to lift her up and get her into the crate.

00:18We took her to the vet. He was worried about her heart.

00:22She was 44 kilos and needed to lose 20.

00:34The first thing we did when we took her with us was to give her a well-deserved bath.

00:42She couldn't walk more than 30 steps but this had to change.

00:46We started taking her on walks. In the beginning, she would stop and lay down after a few steps.

00:51You're tired? That's a little walk. You're tired aren't you?

00:57Come on, 50 steps to go.

01:01You can do it Cindy.

01:04But slowly, slowly she was getting better and better.

01:09But slowly, slowly she was getting better and better.

01:15You're doing so great. Come on. Come on, you can do it. That's it.

01:26116.1. 116.1. Oh she's lost maybe one kilo already.

01:32Here she is literally mountain hiking. Agility is looking on point. We're almost at the summit.

01:41Keep going. We've got to just get to there. You can see how she started picking up the pace.

01:47We were so proud of her. Come on, you beautiful thing. Good girl. Cindy, another walk today.

01:54Here she comes up the mountain. Speed is lightning fast today. Cindy, it's very important to have

02:01little breaks. Here she comes. Now this is the final climb, Cindy. Yep, second step, third step.

02:14Boom, we're on the last one. Here she comes, here she comes.

02:23Come on. Oh, you're jumping down the stairs. All right, Cindy.

02:29We're hoping for big numbers. We're hoping for big numbers. I don't even give anything to be

02:34scared of, Cindy. Lana's put you through a lot of exercises this week. What's the number? What's the

02:40number? Oh my god. 39.3. All four legs are on. Wow. So we all sort of celebrated when she got to 40kg.

02:5837.8. 37.8.

03:09What do we got? Oh, 30, 60.

03:17I'm going to get you, Cindy. We're going back, Cindy. We're going back to the stairs.

03:20Oh, I can hear her.

03:22Here she comes. Go on, Cindy, go on.

03:28Cindy has lost 17 with us when she was at Happy Doggo Land.

03:36And then she went to her new owner, Lana, where she's continued to lose weight.

03:40Go, Cindy.

03:45Oh my god. Good girl. I should not be encouraging you. I shouldn't, but I am.

03:56It makes me feel unbelievable to know that we rescued

04:00Cindy Crawford and that she is where she is now.

04:05You going on a walk?

04:09But to see her in her happy forever home is just unbelievable.
