OMG! He’s an old timer too. Look at that gray snout. Good for the Dog. I pray his people survived as well.
In the 33 years (this month) we’ve been married we’ve had over thirty dogs. Currently have four, and one is a Chocolate Labrador seventeen years old.
I know that rescued dog in the picture has to be up there in age with all that gray on his snout.
He's a fighter and was probably treated very well by his people! Nearly all of the animals we rescued over the years had this inherent lust for longevity. My first cat lived to the ripe age of 18. The basset hounds made it to 13. At present, the shriveled up, senior cat, sick with hyperthyroidism, and on daily meds, is determined to live beyond her 17 years. The other day, she caught a mouse!
With you, I am hoping his "people" are still alive because the thought of reuniting with them is what kept this dog going for 3 weeks.
