For those who don't want to register for access to the site,
the most excellent closing paragraph is:

"It's obviously time for a war on pet gluttony. Perhaps a
nation that stashes its prized pets in canine day-care
centers, sends them to doggie psychiatrists and buries them
in special cemeteries will rise to the challenge by
establishing health clubs for pets, with personal
trainers. Alternatively, the human couch potatoes who
contribute to this problem could put down the new report,
get the leash and take Fido for a run."

There's also an interview with William Wegman about vacationing
in Maine with his dogs:
