The Oldest Dog in the World Has Passed Away
I think we can all agree that the average life expectancy of dogs is too short. Personally, the oldest dog in my family lived to be about 18, which is still an incredible achievement, but by that age, he was blind and deaf as a post.
It was a humane decision to euthanize him eventually because we couldn't imagine him living on in such a state. To hear of a dog that lived to be a whole THIRTY (30) years old is simply astounding, but that is what Australian man Brian claims.
Recently, his Australian Kelpie, Maggie, died at the remarkable age of 30. That is 210 years old in dog years! WHAT?!
The Old Gal and Her Owner Brian
Although Brian doesn't have any documentation to back up his claim, we would like to think that he's telling the truth, as he really doesn't have much to gain from lying about it. According to Brian, his old pupper lived a very active life right up until the end. She walked to the shop with Brian every day and took her time to growl at most passersby; she never lost her sense of self or her independence.
What a Good Girl!
