He may be 147, but Otto is not taking old age lying down (Otto is the dog)

Otto, a 20-year-old dachshund-terrier mix from England, may be the heir apparent to the title of World’s Oldest Dog. But chances are that if Guinness World Record investigators confirm that Otto is indeed the crown wearer, he won’t sit in his throne for long. This is one active pup, for someone so ancient. He may be almost 21 in human years, but in dog years he’s 147. I want to know what’s in the water in Shropshire. Send me a sample, would you, old bloke?

Check out this short video on the old but spry man. He is admittedly very cute. I have to say that if I were pampered like he is, I would live a very long and happy life myself. But no one’s feeding me Sunday dinners every day of the week or letting me cozy up in bed beside them at 8 pm. I am forwarding this to my people. If they want me to live long and prosper, they’re going to have to start making some changes around the old abode…

(A big thank you to Zipper and his person Michael for sending us the link to this story. Zipper, you already live the life of Riley, whoever he was. Wish me luck with my quest to do the same. I am ready to retire the dog bed ASAP.)
