When the ‘World’s Oldest Dog,’ Dead At 30 [Sad News]

A Kelpie that may have been the oldest dog ever died in her bed on Sunday in Woolsthorpe, Australia.
Brian McLaren told the local Weekly Times newspaper that his dog Maggie lived to the remarkable age of 30.
“She was still going along nicely last week,” McLaren reportedly said. “She was walking from the dairy to the office and growling at the cats and all that sort of thing.”
According to the American Kennel Club, Maggie would have been about 164 years old in human years (the American Veterinary Medical Association said the whole 1 dog year = 7 human years thing is a myth).

Last year, 7 News Perth did a story on Maggie, who at the time was believed to be 29 years old.
“We’re good friends,” McLaren told the station. “We’ve grown up together.”
He said Maggie was deaf, but in otherwise good health. Until two days ago.Source
