South Carolina dog becomes world’s oldest living pooch

22-year-old Toy Fox Terrier surpasses previous record holder, TobyKeith, a 21-year-old Chihuahua

A new pet has been named the oldest living dog in the world.

Pebbles, a 22-year-old Toy Fox Terrier from Taylors, South Carolina, was recently given the title by Guinness World Records.

The pooch – who was born on March 28, 2000 – is even older than the previous record holder, 21-year-old TobyKeith, a Chihuahua from Florida, according to Guiness World Records.

Pebbles’ owners, Bobby and Julie Gregory, realized that Pebbles might have a chance at the title when they heard about TobyKeith.



Pebbles spends her days sleeping and listening to country music, according to Guinness.

"Pebbles is like a wild teen who loves to sleep during the day and is up all night," Julie Gregory told Guinness.

"She loves listening to country music while she is sleeping," she added. "Her two favorite country singers are Conway Twitty and Dwight Yokum."

So the oldest two dogs in the world listen to country music?

I’m glad they aren’t martians. Lol.

Adopt a puppy or kitty from your local shelter
Or an older dog or cat. They're true love❤️

Heh. Steve Goodman should've added dogs to the list of things that make the perfect country and western song.

I had to go check the lyrics, and you're right, not one mention of a dog...so it ain't perfect. :shrug: (just real close)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
