'Oldest dog' is pub regular

A BEAGLE cross has become the oldest dog in the world after racking up an incredible 147 dog years — thanks to her weekly trip to the PUB. Lulu, who is 21 in human years, is deaf, walks with a limp and is practically blind, which means she often bumps into walls by mistake.

But her owner Travis Buckley reckons the hustle and bustle of their trip to the local has helped keep her mind active and on her toes for so long.

Travis, 60, has been taking Lulu to the Coach and Horses in Longford, Coventry, for her whole life — and he says she loves the attention from regulars.

I wonder if those are the teeth of the dog’s deceased sister. If so, It could be more ammo for the dem’s to use in the health care debate.

“She wore her dead sister’s teeth, which of course were uncomfortable and did not fit. Do you ever believe that in America that that’s where we would be?

Yes, I’m surprised that the oldest dog in the world is only 21. I suppose certain owners don’t care about proving their dog’s age.

we got our dog in 1995 from the animal shelter and it had already birthed a litter of pups.

Shes sitting under my feet right now.
