The British Veterinary Association puts it a lot better than I can Please SHARE this with your friends and family.I'm not surprised this poor animal is angry - like most brachycephalic dogs he's also probably in a lot of distress and not likely to live a long life. (And that’s why it’s best not to let your dog overeat in the first place and to make sure they get enough exercise – it’s no different than it is for humans.) Be sure to scroll down below to see Cashew’s hilarious protest caught on tape and his adorable, offended reaction to being put on a diet. Since they don’t know what being chubby is or that it can be dangerous for them, they simply see it as being deprived of something they’ve always easily received.

It’s certainly not a noise we’ve heard a dog make before. “I’m not an expert but I think your dog just cussed you out,” said one viewer. Howling in protest, he is not about to let this insult go unaddressed. “Can’t deny that the little guy had some strong arguments,” joked one commenter. He gives an even angrier response when he’s told he’s on a diet. The pudgy Frenchie lets out a bark of disapproval when his mom tells him he’ll get more food for dinner – that’s so far away!
