Question: (Australia Old Dog) A Sydney newspaper says a mongrel in the Australian outback could soon become the world's oldest living dog. Next month, Jerry will turn 27 -- the equivalent of 189 years for a human. Jerry's owner attributes his longevity to his diet of kangaroo, rabbit, and emu. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's oldest living dog is Butch -- a 27-year-old beagle in Virginia. (3) Answer: Whoa! That's ancient! I'd love to see a picture of them...

A border collie said to be 27 could make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest living dog. Bramble's owner Anne Heritage says she's still alert and active and goes for a walk four times a day near her home in Bridgwater, Somerset. The 43-year-old says she feeds her a vegan diet of rice, lentils and organic vegetables. Her partner Roy Franklin takes her swimming once a week at a canine hydrotherapy pool. A Guinness spokesman says the dog could be the oldest living and they are keen to examine any application. The Daily Mail reports Britain's oldest dog was a pedigree papillon called Fred who died at the of 29 in 2000. The world's longest-lived dog was an Australian cattle dog who lived to be just months older than Fred. Ms Heritage says Bramble nearly died last year after injuring her back in a fall, but has become better with the help of the swimming sessions. She said: "She loves exercise and has a real passion for being outdoors. She can be a thorn in my side when she's restless, but it's what keeps her going." Answer: this is a picture that was with the article that I read today... dont know if it is the dog that is the oldest or if its a different one... Answer: Wow, that's pretty advanced in age for a dog! Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
