The adorable 15-year-old dog who made it up Snowdon for one last adventure before his tail stops wagging

A dog who climbed Snowdon might be the oldest to ever do it - and managed the whole climb while mostly deaf and blind, and struggling with arthritis. Savvy turns 16 in September and loves walking but is showing signs of his age, so his owners decided to take him on one last big adventure.

Savvy lives in Portsmouth with his owners Becky Morgan, 39, her partner Shane Cardin, 46, and their three children - aged seven, 14 and 16. He loves walking around the local area and is used to walking six miles a day around Portsdown Hill and the New Forest.
