Abandoned Chihuahua sets world record for oldest living dog at the age of 23

A “severely neglected” chihuahua who was abandoned in a supermarket car park has gone on to be named the world’s oldest living dog.

Spike, a Chihuahua cross, from Camden, Ohio, has now been photographed with a Guinness World Records certificate as the oldest dog, thanks to being taken in by Rita Kimball in August 2009.

He was 23-years and 43 days old, on December 7, 2022, and was already 10 when he was found by Rita and her family.
