World's Oldest Dog

Worlds oldest dog : The oldest dog that has been reliably documented was an Australian cattle-dog named Bluey. He was put to sleep at the age of 29 years and 5 months!

Yep, that's exactly what I've read.
But I don't see what's wrong with the name Bramble, Bluewolf.

Ahh, you're probably right! Not the oldest dog ever, but the oldest currently living. That must be what it is. Well, Bramble is one old dog, congratulations to him, that's amazing. ^^

I think their are other dogs Bramble's age, not offence to PETA enthusists!

There are?
I haven't heard of any, but could be...if people are living longer, maybe dogs are too?
It's so sad how short their lives are... :cry:

Exactly.

Especially as things always go downhill in old age (I've yet to hear of a dog dying without at least one ailment of old age) and you usually have to make the tough decision to put them down. In fact, I'm facing such a decision now - but the vet thinks my ol' boy should have some months left

But think about it - what if a dog lived for, say, 50 years then died? What would become of you?

Yeah...I've experienced that too.

I hope he's got a good many happy months left ahead.
It's devastating to lose them.

When I looked up 'world's oldest dog' I found a article that said "World's oldest dog is a Vegan dog called Bramble, 27." However, this is false. The most long-lived dog was a outback mutt called Bluey. He died at age 29 in 1939. I think the breed most likly to live to 30 is a another outback mutt. They probably ate scraps or a home-cooked diet, not a overly expensive 'gormet' vegan diet. And no one names their dog 'Bramble'

yes, i have heard of bluey, hes worldwide famous. i believe he was part australian cattle dog.
