Maggie Oldest Dog Living Legend

Maggie holds the record for the oldest dog ever certified by Guinness World Records.

Maggie's incredible age of 29 years and 9 months was verified in 2002.

Born on July 26, 1975, Maggie lived a long and happy life with her owner.

Her remarkable longevity is a testament to her good health and loving care.

Maggie the Kelpie was a remarkable dog who lived to the age of 30.

She was still going strong, walking from the dairy to the office and growling at the cats, just a week before her passing.

Maggie would have been about 164 years old in human years, according to the American Kennel Club.

The American Veterinary Medical Association says the common calculation of 1 dog year = 7 human years is a myth.

Maggie was a loyal companion to her family, waiting for the kids to come home from school each day.

She'd be there barking at 4:15 if they weren't home by 4:10, as recalled by her owner Brian McLaren.

Maggie joined the family when Brian's son was just 4 years old, and she lived with them for 26 years.

Unfortunately, there's no official documentation to prove Maggie's age, but Brian's story is a testament to her remarkable life.

Maggie the Kelpie was a remarkable dog who lived to the age of 30.

She was thought to be the world's oldest living dog, and her age is equivalent to 133 human years. However, experts say that the formula of 1 dog year equals 7 human years is not quite accurate.

It's a good ballpark number, but not exact. The American Kennel Club explains it all, and it's much more complicated than just a simple ratio.

Maggie's owner, Brian McLaren, bought her when his son Liam was just four years old. Liam is now 34, which gives an idea of how long Maggie lived.

Maggie was still going along nicely last week, walking from the dairy to the office and growling at cats. But suddenly she went downhill in two days.

She was deaf and had been losing her vision, and it's a sad reminder that even the oldest dogs will eventually succumb to age.
