Colo. <AP> ? Humans aren't the only animals troubled with too much fat, heart diseases and kidney ailments. Your dog has 'em too. Veterinar ians are prescribing diets to make a dog's life longer and happier. Dr. Mark Morris, 55, who has been experimenting with dog diets since 1928, says his diets have lengthened the lives of dogs from two to four years. That's the equivalent of adding 15 to 30 years to the human life span. He noticed startling improve ments in dogs whose symptoms in dicated special nutrition was nec essary. But when the dogs were returned home and the owners dis regarded feeding instructions, the symptoms recurred.
