According to Guinness World Records, Pusuke, a fluffy tan Shiba mix, was the worlds oldest dog. Sadly, Pusuke passed away on Monday at the grand old age of 26 years and eight months. This is roughly the equivalent of 125 in human years! According to owner Yumiko Shinohara who lives in Sakura, a city outside Tokyo in Japan, Pusike had refused to eat after falling ill and had passed away.
According to Guinness, Pusuke was born on April 1st 1985 and was recognised as the worlds oldest dog in December 2010. Guinness says that the oldest recorded dog was an Australian Cattle Dog called Bluey who died in 1939, aged an incredible 29 years!
