Spike all of a sudden ended up being a part of the Kimball household in 2009 after a journey to the supermarket, his owner, Rita Kimball, formerly informed News Center 7.
” We headed out to the cars and truck and he followed us and he leapt right in … it was indicated to be,” Rita stated.
Rita stated she wasn’t sure how old Spike was so she took him to the veterinarian.
The veterinarian informed them Spike was born upon November 10, 1999. This suggests he is 23-years-old; in human years that’s around 124-years-old.
Throughout his 23 years, Spike has actually been through a lot. Consisting of practically ending up being a treat for a coyote and at the age of 15 being assaulted by a pit-bull.
While his hearing and vision aren’t as great, he still has a pep in his action.
Rita has actually used to break the Guinness World Record for “Oldest Living Dog.”
According to Rita, Guinness is attempting to get ahold of Spike’s veterinarian records.
If confirmed, Spike will be the brand-new record holder for the “Oldest Living Dog.”
