Chanel the worlds oldest dog. :)

I just read this and it's cool that a dog can live this long and still be healthy and happy! It's a sweet story, too. Enjoy.

It was on the Today show, but I missed it.

Hey! i just read that and was gonna post it on here but you beat me to it! lol! it's a cute story though.

I read that story earlier today. I can't believe how great it is that Chanel has reached such a ripe old age. Her owner must have had her most of her life because she looks fairly young. Doesn't that give us all encouragement?

Doesn't that give us all encouragement?

Yup, it does. I hope I'm that lucky (and the rest of you too..an empty Dog Memorial would be glorious)

I met somebody at the dog park whose Beagle was 18.

That's amazing! I believe dogs can live that long - My beagle mix was 18 also..

I have groomed several nineteen and twenty year old dogs ... and one that was barely twenty-one when she died. All of them poodles, incidentally. The difference though, was a that the dog I knew that was twenty-one was deaf, blind, completely incontinent, wore diapers, and lived in a crate. She should have been euthanized long before she died, IMO, she had no quality of life left.

That is cool! I read somewhere not to long ago (i don't remember where i read it) there was a Chihuahua that lived until it was 20 years old. It was very loved and beautiful!
