Dogs have been friends with man since time immemorial. Dogs have served mankind with utmost sincerity and unwavering loyalty. They have proven to be the best companions man can ever hope for and given their lives on many occasions to protect their bipedal owners. Our faithful friends live with us throughout their average life expectancy of 12 to 15 years, depending on the dog breed. Have you ever wondered which is the oldest dog in the world? Let's see who that is.
Age of the Oldest Dog in the World
According to the Guinness World Records, the record for the oldest dog in the world is held by Chanel, a dachshund. She turned 21 years old on 6th May 2009 and lived with her owners Karl and Denies Shaugnessey of Port Jefferson, New York. Sadly, she passed away on 28 August 2009 due to natural causes at her home.
There are 5 nations who claim they have the oldest dog living in their country. The title of oldest dog from US has been taken over by Poland. The oldest dog in Poland is named Minius and is claimed to be 25 years old. He was rescued 25 years ago by the animal aid foundation 'Animals and Us' (Zwierzeta I My) from the streets. This makes it very difficult to estimate his age as he maybe well over 26 or 27 years. He is a mixed breed dog who was a stray of about 2 years old when rescued.
The next in line to claim the title of oldest dog in the world is from Germany. This Bernese mountain dog called Penny is about 25 years old. She has tough competition from the American nomination of a mix terrier dog breed called Max. He is said to be 26 years old. The officials from Guinness Book of World Records are verifying the claim.
Next in line is Daisy, a Tenterfield Terrier from Australia, is 25 years old. She was adopted by her current owner Julie Penlington from the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge. She was a one-eyed dog who was about 5 to 6 years old at the time of adoption. Therefore, it is difficult to find the exact age of Daisy.
Oldest Dog in the World Ever
The oldest dog in the world ever was Bluey an Australian cattle dog. He was born on 7 June 1910 in a Rochester, north of Melbourne Victoria. He worked for 20 years managing the sheep and cattle. He was finally put down at a ripe old age of 29 years in 14 November 1939. Bluey's record of world's oldest dog ever has never been beaten as yet, claim Guinness Books.
You will find there are many owners around the world, who claim their dog is the oldest. With love and care, many dogs live long, fulfilling lives. Every dog is special for his/her owner and every owner wants the dog to live a long life. These are a few lucky ones who have lived over 100 years in dog years.
