World's Oldest Dog is a Dachshund!


Chanel, a Dachshund from New York, prefers to enjoy her leisure these days, but that's okay. She's entitled.

At age 20, the dog will be listed in the next edition of The Guinness Book of World Records, coming out in September, as the world's oldest dog. Chanel will be 21 on May 8. Here's hoping she enjoys more dog cookies on her birthday!

Well, Eric, I can only go by the details as published. If she proved Chanel's the oldest - maybe on this continent anyway - then I guess it was good enough for Guiness, good enough for me, too. I'm a journalist, also and enjoy sharing things I come across. I figure any dog that lives to their 20s deserves an extra dog cookie!

Love the dog! Twenty? So that's like 140 in people years, right? WOW!
