A British Dachshund terrier, which was put on wholesome diet, has been crowned as the world's oldest canine by Guinness World Records.
Twenty-year-and-eight-month-old Otto Jones, which has been recognised as the oldest living dog, is a bachelor and enjoys playing ball with neighbours' children despite his old age.
Owners of Otto, a Dachshund terrier cross, describe him as a "lovable and affectionate rogue".
Lynn and Peter Jones from Shropshire of West Midland region have had him since he was a puppy.
He is a bit deaf, but apart from a few grey whiskers and a touch of arthritis they said he was fit and healthy.
"The only thing I can put it down to is plenty of good wholesome food. He loves his Sunday dinners and his vegetables," Lynn said, adding the children in her street regularly call for Otto to play.
"Nothing seems to faze him," she added. Otto has also been invited to open a dog show, a BBC report said. Advertisement
