That's what is great about asking for a welfare check.  In your case nothing was wrong, but I think that it was important that someone saw something that didn't look right and had someone go out and check.  I myself have an old dog who looks like he is staving.  He's got old dog lumps and bumps.  But he still has excellent energy and is as smart as he ever was.  But anyone checking would find that he gets excellent vet care and a diet better than some people eat.  But I can understand if someone saw him and thought he might be starving. 

The point is this - animals have no way to tell us if they are starving, abused or otherwise mistreated.  So I would rather have the owner being angry, than have an animal suffer or die because no one checked on their welfare.
