An Australian kelpie called Maggie
has passed away this week, and her owner thinks she may just be the world's
oldest dog.
Maggie had lived on Brian McLaren's
dairy farm in Woolsthorpe, southern Victoria, since she was just eight weeks
old.
According to the Guinness World
Records, the oldest age recorded for a dog is 29 years and five months.
The McLaren family brought Maggie
home before their son, who is now 34
Maggie worked on the farm rounding
up cows until about 12 years ago.
She wasn't pampered but she was well
looked after. She always had milk not too much of it, but she loved her milk —
and anything else she'd wanted," Mr McLaren said.
According to the owner, Maggie
passed away peacefully, curled up in her bed, on Sunday night.
