Guinness World Records names the world’s oldest dog

A Chihuahua from Florida is the oldest dog in the world. He is 21-years-old and is named Toby Keith.

The pooch is believed to have been born in January 2001. He stayed in an animal shelter when he was a few months old before he was adopted by his owner Gisela Shore.

Gisela stated that she was volunteering at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue when she learned about the Chihuahua. The pooch was previously owned by an elderly couple but they decided to give him to the animal shelter when they could no longer take care of him. 

She further went on and mentioned that when she first met the Chihuahua he was tiny and tan. The elderly couple had named him Peanut Butter however Gisela changed his name to Toby Keith.

Toby gained prominence earlier this year when he celebrated his 21st birthday on 9th January.

The Chihuahua is suffering from a heart condition but lives his life to the fullest. He spends his time playing with two other dogs as well as two birds.
