Back in May the New York dog who was believed to be the oldest living dog in the world, named Chanel, turned 21-years-old. She had a birthday celebration at the New York Dog Spa, and even stopped by the Today Show; and at a fundraiser at Tavern on the Green, her owner, Denice Shaughnessy said, "she looked up from her stroller and seemed to say, 'Is all this for me?'" But now sad news: Chanel has moved on to that big farm upstate. Newsday reports that the dog, who wore sunglasses for her cataracts and rode in a stroller, has died after living 147 full dog years. Shaughnessy tells them, "She just inhaled and took her last breath. [She] had been telling me it's time."





This is kind of a heart warming story. The dog seems to have gotten a big sendoff. I'll now go read the other, depressing, stories on the site about the state of the city these days.
She wasn't that old.
how heartbreaking :(
Did she leave a will?
Where's Felixthecat with his standard Animal Cruelty accusations?
what is that silly habit of trying to 'translate' a dogs age- what is wrong with just saying 21 years old? I mean, are you also going to translate her weight? How many people-lbs did she weigh? Silly....
