Photos Of Precious Senior Dogs Enjoying Their Well-Deserved "Retirement"

There is a reason we refer to dogs as "man's best friend." They are the most loyal, beautiful, special souls that we just happen to be lucky enough to share the planet with.

But while there are an infinite amount of positives to owning a dog, if we had to pinpoint a negative to having one of these special boys or girls as a pet, it would have to be the fact they don't live forever. Like all animals, they grow old and sadly they leave us behind much sooner than we are ever ready or prepared for.

The thing is, although it is extremely sad for us to watch our beloved fur-kids grow old and slow down, one could argue that senior dogs are just as happy and adorable in their twilight years as they were as pups.

Just take a look through the photo's below of 30 precious senior dogs enjoying their well-deserved "retirement!"
