W B It’s known that if you take good care of our dog, it can live up to 29 years, but there are some puppies that break the rules of nature because they can live for a lot of years. Join us and let’s discover which dog lived 200 dog years.
#10 Meg
This little Jack Russell obtained the title for The Oldest Dog in Great Britain. Meg lived in a farm until it was 18 months, when it was adopted by David Abrahams.
Its teeth weren’t strong enough because its gums were really weak, this because of its advanced age. It avoided dog food and only ate a soft diet. That’s why, its favorite appetizers were pasta and Peppa pig’s canned tomatoes, it also ate gluten free fish fingers and had roasted dines made by its owner. Delicious!
Because of its age, Meg became a really loved dog and didn’t accept the same food twice a day, so her owner had a lot of different food just for her. A true diva!
Although it didn’t have a nutritive diet, it lived 25 years, which is 113 dog years. Practically, it lived twice the age of its life expectancy.
#9 Jack
Jack was born in the United Kingdom and was known as one of the oldest dogs in that country. Its owners, Ray Bunn and his wife, adopted him after one of their neighbors found the dog tied to a tree. It lived a decade longer than regular Yorkshires, living 26 years, which is equivalent to 117 years. It suffered of arthritis, urinary incontinence and had some epileptic attacks.
Despite of always having a huge appetite, with the years, it became so conceited that it only ate sirloin and caned meat. I bet Meg and Jack would have gotten along very well.
Sadly, Jack died in a fatal accident. One morning, Ray was going to the sports port of Hartlepool with his dog. Everything was normal until he put its belt on its neck, then, another dog, a black Lakeland terrier attacked the poor Yorkshire and bite it.
Ray tried to separate the dogs with all its strength, hitting the other dog’s nose a lot of times, however, the attack didn’t stop. The bite was so mortal it pierced one of its lungs and the poor Jack died in its way to the veterinary.
#8 Pusuke
Pusuke is one of the dogs that had more titles of the Oldest Dog by the World Guinness Records. It lived 26 years and 248 days, which is equivalent to 125 dog years.
It was born in 1985 in Sakura, Togochi, product of the crossing of a Shiba Inu, a Japanese breed. Yumiko Shinohara, its owner, says that Pusuke didn’t have a special diet, it ate twice a day and even ate a few candies.
In 2008, this dog got hit by a car and was about to die, but thanks to a surgical intervention it could live and keep smiling with its family.
Sadly, the inevitable came and the owner says that she came from the market and found the dog laying on the floor. It’s believed that it died because of its age.
#7 Buksi

Sadly, it died in August 26th, 2017, living 27 amazing years. Buski was well known in Hungary, even the Index.hu news network published a note about its death,
A curious fact is that with the intention of studying how Buski could live so many years, the ethology faculty from the ELTE University in Budapest extracted blood from the dog and sent it to labs in the United States. Do you imagine what would happen if after these studies they discover the secret for a long and healthy life?

Anne Heritage, its owner, was also a vegan, she said she only gave this dog a bowl of vegetables a day because she thought it would serve as inspiration of what a healthy lifestyle can give.
Al lot of commentaries were made about this fact, because people said dogs are carnivores and you can’t just feed them with vegetables. That’s why, a vital health testing was taken to the vegan dogs and the ones that meat. This indicated that the vegetarian dogs don’t have lower protein levels, which indicates that they can ear only vegetables with no problem. However, the ideal is to feed them with vegetables since they’re puppies so their body get used to.

#4 Bella
The adorable Bella lived in Derbyshire, England, and is one of the dogs that couldn’t get into the Guinness World Record Book because it didn’t have a certificated day of birth.
Its owner, David Richardson, was the one who adopted when she had 3 years. He says that when he went to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals in 1982, they made him chose between two dogs and finally adopting Bella because she was calmer.
Bella lived with David, who is 76 years old and his couple, Daisy, who is 81 and they say that their pet’s age was showing because it ate a little, it only had a couple of teeth left. But don’t worry, even though it didn’t eat much, it was the number one at eating candies. They were her favorites!
