Bow down folks, because you are in the prescence of international internet royalty.

Rupert is a Jack Russell Terrier who is gaining mega-popularity for his big ole belly and bulging waistline. His owner, 47-year-old Rachael Alonzo, runs his social media accounts and claims that he’s just “big-boned.” Yep, that’s right — someone is using that excuse, sticking to it, and guess what? Good for them! If anyone can use this excuse, it’s Rupert  himself.

Rachael says Rupert is nearly twice the size of a normal Jack Russell Terrier, weighing in at around 21 pounds. No matter how many diets she puts him on or what she feeds him, she says his weight won’t budge. You know what? Same Rupert, same.

“He’s always been a chunky dog – we initially said he was big boned, she told Caters News. “He was sold to us as a dwarf Jack Russell but he could potentially be a cross breed. He’s on a special diet, consisting of no grains or wheat – his treats tend to be carrots and apple but he gets even those very rarely.”

Sounds like my diet, to be honest.

“But he has been on these diets for three years and we haven’t noticed any weight loss at all, Rachael continued. “A typical Jack Russell weighs as little as six kilos so Rupert is overweight in comparison. He’s just not a very active dog but he’s loved so much is my little boy.”

Awww!

She added, “His steroids for his allergies are a nightmare too and certainly don’t help his weight gain.”

Whatever, we all love you regardless, Rupert!
