New oldest dog

From ‘The Times’, 24 October 2009:

“Terrier takes title of oldest dog”

A dachshund-cross terrier from Shrewsbury has been officially recognised as the world’s oldest dog.  Otto, who will be 21 in February, takes over from Chanel, a dachshund from the US, who died earlier this year aged 21, or 147 dog years.
