Fat Bob’s diet secret: Scrap the fish suppers

We’ve been having a little disagreement here at the office. It’s about a dog named Bob. Fat Bob, to be precise. Fat Bob was living the high life in Scotland. He enjoyed a regular diet of fish suppers and four cans of dog food nearly every day. He became a bit large on this heavenly [...]

Video: 147-year-old dog still running around

Otto, a 20-year-old dachshund-terrier mix from England, may be the heir apparent to the title of World’s Oldest Dog.
