It’s true that dogs don’t live as long as humans, but some are blessed with good long lives, inspiring us all with their health and longevity. And a select few even get to claim the title as the oldest dog in the world.
Now, a new dog has claimed the title: Spike, a 23-year-old Chihuahua, has been officially named by Guinness World Records as the oldest dog in the world.
According to Guinness, Spike was 23 years and 43 days old as of December 7, 2022, making him verifiably older than the previous title holder, Gino, who was named the oldest in November.
