LONGEST-LIVED DOG

Australian Cattle Dogs are known for being
robust and healthy—but one, called Bluey, holds
the Guinness World Record as the longest-lived
dog. Bluey was born in June 1910 and was
owned by Australian couple Les and Esma
Hall. The dog worked for more than 20 years
herding sheep and cattle (as below) on a diet
of kangaroo and emu meat. He was finally put
down in November 1939, at the age of 29 years,
5 months, and 7 days.
